Stanford US-Russia Forum for undergrads
A new student group, the Stanford U.S.-Russia Forum (SURF) is dedicated to bringing American and Russian students together to explore foreign policy.
SURF's goal is to improve bilateral relations by bringing together undergraduates from both countries to participate in a program that includes a series of virtual seminars, a collaborative project, and a capstone conference at Stanford. We aim to initiate dialogue on a variety of issues in U.S.-Russian relations that cover diplomatic, economic, and business spheres. The organization has been recognized as one of the most exciting new student-led public service initiatives by California's Strauss Foundation and our Advisory Board includes Chip Blacker (Director of Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute), Norman Naimark (McDonnel Professor of East European Studies at Stanford), and Vladimir Mau (Rector of Moscow's Academy of National Economy).
SURF is committed to funding all expenses of selected program participants and is looking for students interested in Russia in particular and students with a broader interest in all of foreign policy and international affairs.
SURF is currently recruiting student participants for our 2009-2010 program, which will begin in October 2009 and commence with a conference at Stanford in April 2010.
