I have been involved in study abroad for most of my career. At Michigan State I currently lead a study-abroad program to Russia that I designed in 2008. Students who participate in the program go to St. Petersburg and Moscow before traveling to Volgograd, where they live with host families and take intensive Russian language classes at Volgograd State Technical University (http://www1.vstu.ru/en). Students interested in participating in the MSU Volgograd program can email me or see the web site of MSU’s Office of Education Abroad (http://educationabroad.isp.msu.edu/).
