Normandy Scholar Program – Applications Due Oct. 8

Leave a reply

Dear Liberal Arts Honors Program student:

This letter is to invite you to consider the Normandy Scholar Program on World War Two (NSP) as a part of your educational experience at The University of Texas at Austin.  The Normandy Program, which is open to all majors on campus and does not require a foreign language, offers one-semester (Spring 2013) of intensive study of World War Two combined with a three week-long faculty-led study visit to the most important European sites of World War Two in London, Paris, Normandy, Berlin, and Poland.  Students who meet the program requirements and are looking for an extraordinary educational opportunity are invited to inquire and apply.

We would like to encourage you to stop by the NSP info table at the Study Abroad Fair to talk to former Normandy Scholars about their experiences in the program. There will also be NSP Faculty available to answer questions.

Study Abroad Fair: Wednesday, September 12
Gregory Gym Plaza, 10 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

If you would like to acquaint yourself with the program and get an application, please view the NSP web site: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/history/normandy-scholars/overview.php (listed on the left-hand side of the History Department home page).  There you will see testimonials from Liberal Arts Honors students, such as the following:

“The Frank Denius Normandy Scholar Program was the best semester I have had at UT so far. Learning from some of UT’s best professors in a classroom with only 20 students is such a unique opportunity. The professors are so passionate about what they are teaching that it motivates you to keep up with the rigorous coursework. The friendships that develop while taking classes together only get stronger once on the Europe trip. The program introduced me to some of the most interesting and intelligent students on the 40 Acres. Getting to travel to Europe to see what you have spent an entire semester learning about is so rewarding. Walking down Omaha Beach or past the Reichstag is so much better than simply reading about these sites in a book. NSP truly makes history come alive.”  (Caroline Corcoran)

For further information, you can contact the Director of The Frank Denius Normandy Scholar Program on World War Two, Professor Charters Wynn at wynn@utexas.edu or you can visit the History Department’s Undergraduate Advising Office, Garrison Hall, Room 1.140, 471-7670 for more information.

NSP Application Deadline: Monday, October 8.
