Testimonials
“I spent my third
summer in New Haven—but the summer that I enrolled in the GSP program was by
far my favorite summer. The Global Summer Program challenged me to push my
boundaries intellectually, to think globally, and to delve into the study of
political psychology at the most fundamental and significant level.”
- Monika Adamczyk, Topics in
International Economics (Yale 2009) & Oxford's Seminar in Global Leadership
(Oxford 2010), Yale University. Monica
enjoyed the GSP at Yale so much that she applied for a second summer
participating in the GSP
“The best aspect of the IARU GSP was the
critical approach we had during lessons and the sense of community. I've never
been before to a university with on-campus housing. Coming together and
exchanging so much with other students was a great and worthwhile experience.
I've never felt this linked to a university like Yale in only 5 weeks.”
- Steffen Merte, 2010 Participant from ETH Zurich.
