Students can join the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School Applied Social Sciences’ International Education Programs to learn about the Mandel School’s three-credit study abroad course to Poland during Spring Break. The session will be held Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. in the Mandel School, Room 238.
Students can bring their lunch and gain insight into one of seven study abroad opportunities offered this year at the Mandel School. The abroad course to Poland challenges students to ask, in a post-Communist world, how does Poland address the issues affecting its most vulnerable citizens? Students will learn how Poland’s recent political and economic transformations impact its public and private social welfare system working to tackle poverty, homelessness, aging and mental health disorders.
About Mandel School study abroad opportunities

These study abroad courses are open to all undergraduate and graduate students at Case Western Reserve University (any major). These international opportunities are designed to enable students to see comparative social service systems and gain new insights into the needs of people in the U.S. and abroad. The courses promote student interaction with communities, international policy makers and direct-service providers. Course topics include social welfare, social justice, health care, global health, mental health, substance abuse, macro social and economic issues.
