      The program immerses social work students in Korean culture and the philosophical, spiritual, religious, theoretical, and ideological bases of Korean social welfare through classes, three weeks study abroad, and extra-curricular activities.  Most educational and travel expenses of student participants will be covered via a scholarship.  Contact me at edc@ku.edu or 785-864-8939 for more information.  For the 2003-04 program, applications from students must be received by me, Edward R. Canda, Ph.D., at the KU School of Social Welfare by October 1, 2003.

 

    The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) at the University of Kansas was founded in 1959 and today remains the only such resource center in the entire Great Plains region. Its aim is to enhance skills in, and the knowledge and awareness of, the languages, traditions and the contemporary importance of East Asia among all the people of our state and nation. On campus, it promotes language instruction, study abroad, international careers, visiting speakers, student activities, and cooperation among the College and professional schools (This synopsis taken from CEAS site).

 

     The Koreanists web site offers a free online database of Korean studies scholars and students. It has been constructed to provide users with easy access to up-to-date information about scholars of Korean studies around the world. (This synopsis taken directly from Koreanist site).
