SUSI Summer Exchange program 2022 in the USA Fully Funded
Brief Description
The application process for the summer 2022 SUSI for
students leaders on comparative public policymaking is NOW OPEN!
An exciting opportunity for undergraduate students. Undergraduate
students from Pakistan interested in the topic of Comparative Public
Policymaking are invited to apply for participation in the Study of the United
States Institute for Student Leaders. If conducted in-person, the Institute
will take place at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst from late June to
early August 2022. Should health, safety, and travel conditions continue to
pose significant challenges, the program will pivot to a modified virtual
format. The program will be intensive, academic, and highly interactive. The
program sponsors seek energetic applicants who are ready to develop their
skills in order to be effective leaders in their schools and communities.
Study of the
U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Student Leaders are intensive short-term academic
programs whose purpose is to provide groups of undergraduate student leaders
with a deeper understanding of the United States while simultaneously enhancing
their leadership skills. The Institutes will consist of a balanced series
of seminar discussions, readings, group presentations, and lectures. The
coursework and classroom activities will be complemented by educational travel,
site visits, leadership activities, and volunteer opportunities within the
local community. The Institutes will include an academic residency component
and, if the program is conducted in-person, an integrated study tour. If it is
possible to conduct the Institute remotely, participants will engage in
similar activities, but in a truncated virtual format from Pakistan. During
the academic residency, participants will also have the opportunity to engage
in educational and cultural activities outside of the classroom (in-person or
virtual).
