DukeEngage is pleased to report that it will have more than 30 new and continuing group programs in place for Summer 2010.
New group programs will take place in Washington, D.C.; Kolkata, India; Zhuhai, China; and Durban, South Africa.
All domestic and international programs are now listed on the DukeEngage web site.
As of today, Oct. 1, students may begin that application process online by selecting the Apply button in the upper right-hand page menu or at the bottom of group program listings.
New this year: an at-a-glance reference guide on the Immersion Program pages that provides a look at various categories of service connected to each respective DukeEngage group program site.
The Durham program "Think Globally, Act Locally" will continue to be DukeEngage's largest program with 30 students selected to participate in 2010. In total, 365 DukeEngage students will take part next summer, which includes those participating as independent project students and those accepted into DukeEngage's two Study Abroad hybrid programs (Brazil and Russia).
Application deadlines are November 9, 2009, for international group programs, excluding Study Abroad hybrid programs, and January 14, 2010, for domestic group programs, Study Abroad hybrid programs, and all independent projects.
We encourage students to make an effort to attend our upcoming group program site-specific information sessions beginning Monday, Oct. 12. Information will be posted on the DukeEngage web site, Facebook page, Twitter feed, and in a Duke Chronicle ad.
