2009 Global Summer Program for ANU StudentsWhat is the IARU Global Summer Program?The Global Summer Program offers students from IARU institutions the opportunity to study together during the (northern) summer in specially designed intensive short courses. IARU GSP courses will allow students to benefit from a powerful intercultural dynamic, and to enhance their educational experience, with courses drawing the strengths of member institutions and the resources of their environments. It is hoped that students will be challenged to learn with students from other societies within and beyond the classroom.
