Subject: MIUSA offering UO Class Global Perspectives on Disability and Fall Internship

Dear MIUSA friends,

I hope this finds you doing well. I am writing to share that we have two exciting announcements for Fall term.

As you may know, MIUSA will be teaching our Global Perspectives on Disability class at U of O in Fall 2023. We are also offering students the opportunity to combine the 2-credit course with a MIUSA internship for additional credit. Please note: Students must apply and be accepted for the internship.

The internship application deadline is September 1st, 2023.

We would very much appreciate if you could circulate this information with your networks and any students who may be interested. Details are provided below and I have attached pdf flyers for the course and the internship. If there is any place appropriate to post the printed flyers in your office we would love your help in spreading the word.

We don't teach this course or offer internships every term, so please encourage students to enroll/ apply early (space is limited).
Thanks so much!

Best regards,
Suz
