Summer Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain, with Dr.
Sharonah Fredrick, from UB’s Romance Languages and Literatures (RLL) Department
Dr. Sharonah Fredrick, RLL’s Clinical Assistant Professor
of Spanish & Portuguese Language and Latin American Culture, whom you all
saw in the Life Raft Panel, will direct a UB summer study abroad program in
Spain and offer a course on the multi-religious roots of Salamanca’s Spanish
literature in the 15th-17th centuries. For more
information, please see: http://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/romance-languages-literatures/study-abroad/study-abroad-with-rll.html
If you are interested in the possibility of some financial aid, please be in
touch with Dr. Sharonah Fredrick directly: sharonah@buffalo.edu Or,
call her (and please leave a message) at: 716-645-1735. This summer, RLL will run its internationally
recognized, 6 credit Salamanca summer program with a combination of academic
and recreational activities designed to enrich and interest the student of
Spanish language/literature and the many facets of Hispanic culture. We will
emphasize Salamanca’s multi-cultural and multi-religious roots of this
historical city, including Roma (Gypsy), Christian, Muslim, Jewish and
Portuguese intellectual contributions; and we will study the special role
played by Salamanca’s intellectuals in defense of the rights of the indigenous
peoples of Latin America and Africa, during the centuries of Conquest. The
university offers an excellent array of tourist and sports-friendly activities
as well as cultural excursions. Sharonah’s course is three credits and will
count as an upper-division (300 or 400 level) language requirement; the other
language study course, ranging from Beginner’s through Highly Advanced Spanish,
counts as part of any UB language requirement. There are no problems
transferring these credits because these are UB credits earned abroad, not
credits from the University of Salamanca, although that is where the courses
will be taught. Deadline for applications is March 25th.”
Roswell Park is looking for volunteers to assist with running the Buffalo Health Care Exploration this summer. We are especially looking for males but have unfilled positions for both genders. You must currently be in college and preference will be given to applicants who participated in BHE during high school or have worked with Roswell previously.
BHE is a program for high school students who believe they
may want to go to medical school or pursue a science career. The students get
to do activities such as shadow doctors, think of medical instruments, get
college and premedical mentoring, and networking opportunities within Roswell.
It is during the month of July with extra commitments during June for the Ride
for Roswell. If you apply be sure you can commit to being present for the vast
majority of events and all program dates. The days begin at 9 and end at 4pm.
As a TA you would be acting as a mentor and a guide for a team
of students. You would be responsible for transporting them to different
locations, supervision and mentoring. You’ll act as a positive role model and
peer for the students and help them gain the most out of the program.
As a college student you have the opportunity to network
within Roswell with the many talented physicians involved. You will also gain
exposure to the ATLAS interns who work with the urology department on various
research projects. The networking and connections you make can be integral in
gaining an internship at Roswell, gaining access to medical school, or gaining
access to graduate school. You will be working alongside other motivated
students from nearby colleges.
For information please visit the BHE link which can be found
on Roswell Park’s website. https://www.roswellpark.org/education/atlas-program/buffalo-healthcare-exploration
