Welcome back Mason Nation! We welcome our new exchange students who arrived on campus last week and enjoyed a great tour of the Fairfax campus. Finally, we would like
to extend a third welcome and invitation to join us as we kick off the academic year 2016-2017 with an Ice
Cream Social this

Budapest Internship Program
|
|
|
|
This new, innovative, semester
program, run by Mason in association with Global Knowledge LLC, offers students an unparalleled opportunity to closely examine these issues by focusing on topics such as humanitarian and asylum law, migrant absorption policies, border security,
racism and xenophobia, opposition to the integration of refugees, cultural preservation and international cooperation. As such, students will explore existing tensions between state sovereignty and transnationalism and the growing controversy on the future
of the European Union.

Dispatches from Vietnam: Then and Now
|
|
|
|
This course aims
primarily to give students a taste of what it is like to be a foreign correspondent writing from and about Vietnam to a U.S. audience. Given its shared history with the United States and recent efforts to reconcile past differences, Vietnam provides a unique
lens through which students can explore the challenges (and joys!) of writing as an outsider, the complexity of translating a foreign language and culture, and the nuances of covering topics that may be politically sensitive.
