Honors has a channel on Vimeo! Each year we have many amazing video and film submissions made by our Capstone students, that we needed a way to be able to feature and share them as fine examples of Honors quality work. All you juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will benefit from being able to see the best examples of Capstone films on our Vimeo archives. Our channel is https://vimeo.com/syracusehonors
Are you an Honors student and have your own Vimeo channel? If you’d like us to follow you, or you would like us to link to your Vimeo channel, let us know. Honors student Carlos Bonachea is also on Vimeo and is the newest addition to the Honors blogroll!
The Maxwell in Washington (IR/DC) semester is a terrific opportunity – many Honors students have found it an incredible experience. We have TWO info sessions: the one on the poster below, and a SPECIAL one with the Director of IR/DC, Ryan Williams, just for Honors students.
We’ll provide a light lunch. Great time to have an informal chat with the Director! Please RSVP directly to Eric Holzwarth (eholzwar@syr.edu)
Called “The Culture and Politics of Reconciliation in Central Europe”, this is an opportunity for students to study the challenges of reconciliation in places in Europe that have experienced dramatic upheavals and tragic events – as they travel from Strasbourg (a symbol of post WWII reconciliation and united Europe), to Dresden and Berlin (the struggle to remember and represent the tragedy of the Holocaust), to Auschwitz/Birkenau (the former Nazi concentration camp), and to Wroclaw, Poland (formerly Breslau, Germany), where students will build on the ideas of memory, conflict, and reconciliation inscribed in this city’s streets, cemeteries, monuments, and buildings. Using action research, students will work together to produce self-guided tour brochures that offer a deeper view of the city and its complex history.
This summer course is part of SU Abroad’s developing study abroad opportunities for students to deepen their knowledge of other parts of the world as they work together to understand and address urgent issues.
Remember that off campus study helps you fulfill the Global Awareness requirement, and you can use it to count as one Honors course in your ‘Breadth’ requirement. Read all the details about The Culture and Politics of Reconciliation in Central Europe (ANT/GE0/HUM/SOC 470/670) here.
SU Abroad is hosting two information meetings to promote ALL summer programs for 2013. The meetings will take place on January 29th and February 7th at 4pm at the SU Abroad Office.
This is a time change! Please note, the info session will be at 4pm!!
