Hartwick college

The program will allow students to fulfill the language requirement during one January Term by immersing them in a French-speaking urban community in Africa where they will undertake intensive language study while living with host families. There will be many opportunities to discover the history and culture of Senegal. Students will also participate in community-based service learning projects, working with local organizations and NGOs to help in areas such as public health, education, agriculture, and environmentalism. Students will be able to choose the topic they wish to pursue and work with field experts in the area.
