Thunderbird School

From Tom Brennan, Recuiter from the Thunderbird School:

Thanks again for meeting me in my visit to BYU a few weeks ago. I enjoyed presenting to the current students and learning about their interests and future goals. If you happen to speak with any students interested in pursuing an education in global management or global affairs with Thunderbird, you can send them the link below for more information. This is the link to the e-versions of all of our print materials:

Feel free to share my contact information with anyone who would like to speak with me. We would be happy to return to BYU for a visit in the future.

Have a great week!

Best regards,

Looking for an Overseas Experience Next Summer?

From Scott Cooper in the Political Science Department and a member of the IR Committee of the Whole:

IR students,

As you’re making plans for future study, please consider London Study Abroad in Winter or Spring 2010. The BYU center in London accepts about 45 students per semester and has its own facilities—two townhouses in a cool part of town that have been converted into dorms, classroom space, common areas, and faculty apartments. Students take 4 classes in Winter (or 2 in Spring), but the real highlight is being able to get course credit while living in one of the most interesting cities on the planet. Classes are tied in with field trips in London itself, as well as to sites around Britain (and, in Winter, Paris).

I’ll be teaching Intro International Relations (Poli Sci 170, Winter) and British History & Politics (ES 336, Winter & Spring) and would really like to have a strong contingent of IR-interested students along. London is a great place to talk about stuff like balance of power politics, causes of the great wars, the origins of democracy and rule of law, and Britain’s occasionally difficult relationships with the EU. It’s also of course a great place to take classes on Shakespeare, classical civilization, and world religions.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me (scott_cooper@byu.edu) or the Kennedy Center’s international study office (isp@byu.edu). And remember to tell your parents you’re going mostly for the classes.

Congratulations to Stephanie Blood

This is a bit late and I apologize for being slow to post things this past week or so.

Stephanie Blood, a senior majoring in International Relations, won the “Most Motivational Display” award at the 2009 Strut Your Stuff Internship Fair on April 3rd. There were around 100 participants and only 8 participants won awards, so this is a high honor. Pictures of all the winners are available at the Internship Office Website (www.byu.edu/intern).

Three Cheers!
