Invisible Groups in a New Poland Study Abroad Information Session

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.
