Puerto Rico Culture
Program is scheduled to take place winter intersession 2008. Details coming soon.
 The program provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a Spanish-speaking environment, explore and do research on Puerto Rican culture, and interact with noted scholars. Students will strengthen their language skills through immersion. Students will be paired with a volunteer from the Instituto Interdisciplinario y Multicultural (INIM) who will accompany them to museums, markets, public spaces, and cultural performances. INIM was created in 2005 to promote international academic exchange in Puerto Rican culture and offer Spanish language immersion.
