Students must be able to meet the cost of their transportation to the holiday site and must pay an application fee. Other costs are met by the program, which is based on the volunteer efforts of hundreds of church members. The OISS now has information about FIH for 1999. The FIH program extends from December 18 to January 1, with some local variations. FIH has sites in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, and Texas.
More desirable sites fill quickly.
Early applicants have a better chance of going to their first choice of sites. Information about CIH and IFM could arrive at any time. The International Programs receptionist has booklets with more information and with application forms. The idea of a small graduate seminar for the end of the semester is under consideration. So our discussion will cover a broad spectrum of topics such as nationalism, colonialism, postcoloniality, diaspora, and globalization.
