Korea-America Student Conference (KASC) recruiting for the 3rd Conference (July 12- August 12, 2010)
The Korea-America Student Conference (KASC) is a student-led cultural and academic exchange program which brings 25 Korean and 25 American university students from all schools and levels of education (Undergraduate and Graduate alike) together to learn about and discuss U.S.-Korea relations. This year, students will travel under the theme "Learning from the past, while working in the present, toward the future of U.S.-Korea relations".
Together, students will experience an intense month traveling around America and learning about several dynamic issues facing the U.S. and Korea: the environment and social movements, media and culture, war and peace, national identity, and the education systems presented in the U.S. and Korea.
Through engagement this diverse group of students will participate in analyzing and creating strategies intended to foster mutual and global cooperation. Not only do conference participants learn about one of the world’s strategic bilateral alliances, they also have the opportunity to directly help reinforce the bonds between countries by sharing knowledge and experiences while making memories and friendship with other future leaders.
KASC is recruiting both undergraduate and graduate students for the month-long program. In addition, KASC does not require Korean language skills, and while many participants have some background in Korean Studies, KASC also welcomes a wide range of student majors and interests.
