that this assistance will encourage more students to continue their 
education beyond the baccalaureate level and pursue careers in 
environmentally related fields.

Deadline is December 10.

5. Semester at Sea for grad students 
Next summer, Semester at Sea is launching a new academic and experiential 
component focusing on graduate students in higher education - Student 
Affairs at Sea. This program is intended to introduce graduate students to 
international perspectives on student affairs.

Selected students will enroll in a graduate-level course taught by Dr. 
Kathleen Manning, professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs 
Administration at the University of Vermont. Course credit will be issued 
through the University of Virginia. Participating graduate students will 
have the opportunity to intern with student services staff aboard the ship 
and to partake in organized visits to various institutions of higher 
education. The itinerary for the 10-week voyage is the Mediterranean 
(Europe and North Africa). A limited number of paid graduate internships 
are available as "Program Assistants." Approximately 550 undergraduates 
from colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and abroad will also 
comprise the shipboard community.
