Kosovo Peace & Conflict study abroad REQUIRED info session


Students interested in or planning to attend the RIT-K Summer Program in Peace & Conflict in Kosovo must attend this REQUIRED info session.

Where:  3114 Chincoteague Hall (3rd floor conference room)
When:  Thursday, March 7, 2019, 3:30-5:00 pm
What:  Info on your MyEA application (through UMD Education Abroad), the RIT-K application, transfer credit, & what to expect from UMD and from RIT-K before, during, and after the program.

Soon the Kosovo study abroad program will appear in the UMD Education Abroad portfolio in MyEA. Once it is up and running, I will notify you so you can complete the MyEA application (a required step if you want credit from RIT-K and travel insurance). These must be completed by the March 15th deadline

Three representatives from the RIT-K program and the regional representative from Education Abroad will be there to give you important information and answer questions.  For those students who attend, this info session will fulfill the required meeting with Conrad Zeutenhorst from EA. If you do not attend, you will need to schedule a meeting with him separately.

This program is open to all UMD students.  Applications are rolling.  The sooner you complete your RIT-K application the better.
