“Study Abroad in Uganda Night” has been rescheduled for Monday, April 27, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Great Ball Room. It was originally scheduled for March 30.
The event will be held by Ugandan students at NDSU, in conjunction with NDSU students who are planning to study at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, as part of a 2009 summer course in “International Animal Production, Disease Surveillance and Public Health” from June 6 to July 4. This is a fundraising activity to enable them to participate in the course.
The program will start at 5:30 p.m. with a reception of light Ugandan snacks followed by a slide show, video, dances, presentations, student alumni testimonies and a fashion show on Uganda. A silent auction featuring Ugandan articles also will be conducted. Attendees will learn about Uganda and the “Study Abroad in Uganda” course.
The course, “International Animal Production, Disease Surveillance and Public Health,” is offered jointly by NDSU’s Department of Veterinary and Microbiological Sciences and the Department of Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Makerere University. The course was offered successfully in summer 2007 and 2008, and is designed to facilitate diversity in student training to produce a globally engaged science work force. Last summer, the course drew interest from students from other institutions, especially veterinary colleges. There is room for more students to enroll in the 2009 summer course before the April 30 deadline.
