About the Seminar

This is the second Fulbright-Hays seminar in Russia that the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center has organized for American K-12 teachers. Three years ago, the Center joined forces with Professor Ron Pope, Illinois State University, to organize a summer seminar in Russia. REEEC had the resources to get a grant and recruit deserving teachers; Ron Pope had the connections with the American Home in Vladimir, Russia, whose staff was capable of putting together an appropriate program. The success of that earlier venture prompted REEEC and Professor Pope to join forces again this summer. For more information on the Fulbright-Hays Project, see fulbright.htm.
