Greetings from the African Scholars Program! We hope that you had an enjoyable and productive summer. We have been working on the details of the planned exchange trip to Senegal and the Gambia, refining the itinerary and researching transportation and resources. We are very excited about this trip to West Africa. In April of 2012, 16 students and 4 chaperones will spend three weeks in Senegal and The Gambia, visiting historic, cultural and natural sites. Students will attend schools and participate in home stays in both countries.
We would like to invite those of you who are interested in the program to please pencil in the following dates for upcoming African Scholars meetings and pass them on to other parents and students who may be interested:
Thursday, September 15, @ 2:30 - Informational meeting for students, including application procedures and program expectations
Wednesday, September 21, @ 7:00 - Informational meeting for parents
The African Scholars faculty are looking forward to meeting with you and moving on to making this exciting project a reality!
