Selection Process

Winter Intersession Program on Modern Day Slavery and Human Trafficking

December 20, 2010 - January 3, 2011  |  Optional Mainland Safari - January 4 - January 9, 2011

Students will be selected on a competitive, rolling-admissions basis. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. Acceptances will be extended beginning in February.  In evaluating a student application, we will look at the student essay, transcript, and general suitability for foreign travel and study. The student essay should show a defined interest in the topic of modern day slavery and human trafficking and a commitment to advancing international human rights and international law in today's world.  We will seek students who will make a valuable contribution to classroom discussion and all other program activities.  Preference will be given to students who have a background in Human Rights and/or International Law, or students who plan to focus in those areas of law.  In evaluating a student's application the program director may, in certain cases, also ask for references. We generally enroll students from the United States and Canada with a few students also coming from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Africa. 

REGISTRATION

Upon acceptance, students will be provided with an acceptance package explaining program procedures in detail. Seats in the program are secured by a non-refundable $250 deposit applied toward tuition, and are awarded in the order in which deposits are received, so students should register early. It is anticipated that the deposit deadline will be October 1. If additional places are available after that date, students may be admitted subject to the discretion of the Program Director. Enrollment will be limited to 40 students.
