Winter Term 2003 opens

Almost 600 Elon students studying abroad are among the 3,900 enrolled for Winter Term 2003, which opened Friday, Jan. 3. Details...

With the theme “Globalization and Culture,” Elon’s three-week Winter Term began Jan. 3. Approximately 35 courses directly related to that theme are being offered, including courses such as “Dance in Worship Around the World,” “Sustainable Development in a Global Economy,” and “The New Latino South.”

Nearly 600 students are studying abroad this January in 25 study abroad courses. Elon students are gaining hands-on knowledge by studying topics such as the business and culture of New Zealand, the heritage of Andean cultures in Peru and fine arts in England and Italy.

A highlight of Winter Term is the Jan. 16 address by noted journalist and author David Halberstam. His speech will focus on his latest book, “War in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton, and the Generals,” an analysis of the impact of domestic policies on post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy.
