Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders from Europe are intensive short term academic programs whose purpose is to provide groups of European undergraduate student leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States, while simultaneously enhancing their leadership skills. Each institute will have 20 student participants. The five-week Institutes will consist of a balanced series of seminar discussions, readings, group presentations, and lectures. The coursework and classroom activities will be complemented by educational travel, site visits, leadership activities, and volunteer opportunities within the local community. The Institutes will include an academic residency component of approximately four weeks and a domestic study tour of approximately one week. During the academic residency, participants will also have the opportunity to engage in educational and cultural activities outside of the classroom. The Institutes will include cultural components that allow students to become familiar with their host community during a five-week period, beginning June and July 2017. The Department of State is pleased to work with several U.S. universities, which will host these programs. The Institutes are aimed at non-elite undergraduate students who have not had an opportunity to travel to the United States, and represent diverse populations within your country. All activities will be conducted in English.
