The Center for International Service announces the fall 2012 World on Wednesday Lecture Series. WoW presentations take place on Wednesdays in the Campus Center (Building 1C) Green Dolphin Lounge, except where noted.
WOW is especially intended to inspire students to want to learn more about the world during their time at CSI. Discussions in the series serve to introduce and encourage students to participate in the wide range of study abroad programs available to them through the Center for International Service. Speakers talk about their own personal experience and present their topics in an informal style, including audio visuals tools.
The World on Wednesday series is sponsored by the Center for International Service. Class participation is welcome. All events are approved for a CC CLUE credit.
If you wish to participate or to suggest another speaker, please contact Winnie Brophy at the Center for International Service at 718.982.2100 or winnie.brophy@csi.cuny.edu.
