Students will spend a fast-paced, educational two weeks exploring the political history of the Korean Peninsula and the lasting effects of the Korean War. From Seoul to Busan, students will follow the trajectory of inter-Korean relations; travel to the sites of critical battles; consider the complex diplomatic politics of North Korean nuclear proliferation; and the difficult path ahead toward Korean unification.

This trip emphasizes political and diplomatic history as well as armed and unarmed conflict from 1950 to the present day. It also introduces the United States’ successes and failures while intervening in the Korean War, as well as in shaping South Korea’s economic and democratic development. Along the way, students will visit the site of the Gwangju uprising, the demilitarized zone at the Korean border, the Busan perimeter, and American military installations near Seoul. Students will also have a short overnight trip to Japan, where they will visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and reflect on the stake of nuclear proliferation in East Asia.

The objectives of the AADS Doctoral Portfolio program is to engage doctoral students in an advanced approach to interdisciplinary studies and to provide tools for mapping the intellectual, political, and creative breadth of African and African Diaspora Studies.

Applications open at the beginning of each fall semester and remain open through late November/early December. Funding is available for the following spring and/or summer semesters.

Despite entering in equal numbers, women continue to leave the legal profession at higher rates than men. The goal of Accelerate Career Start is to improve the retention of first-year lawyers and strengthen the pipeline to partnership and leadership positions. It is the only program of its kind designed to focus on the first-year experience, which often determines the career trajectories of lawyers.

The ARI program offers research experiences guided by FRI faculty for upper level and transfer students in the College of Natural Sciences. Laboratory and classroom merge as faculty-led research groups involve undergraduate students in a two-course sequence plus optional summer participation, led by a Ph.D. faculty member called a "Research Educator" (RE), alongside peer mentors and lab members. ARI offers course credit for contributing to novel research goals.
