Studying possibilities in Poland


We are working on free of charge, interactive webinar about studying possibilities in Poland and we would like to invite potential Polish/American students to join the session. Would that be possible to send out our link to the registration form with your newsletter or simply paste it on your website?

If there are young people interested in coming back to Poland for studying period that's definitely interesting opportunity for them.

I'm pasting it here for you as well so you know how it looks like:

Madame Sklodowska-Curie Covered by ENCORE (NCSU)


NCSU's ENCORE program (for retirees who like to continue learning) has
announced a course on Madame Maria Sklodowska-Curie for the summer
semester 2012.  It is entitled "Marie Curie, Nobel Prize Winner--Role
Model for Women in Science?" and will be taught on May 9, 16, and 30
from 3:00-4:30pm at the McKimmon Center on Western Boulevard at Gorman
Street.  Keep in mind that you must join the organization to
participate in these lectures.

The course description is located at:
https://onece.ncsu.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=207166&selectedProgramAreaId=5189&selectedProgramStreamId=5201

And the short biographical note on the instructor (Edith Sylla) is
located at:
https://onece.ncsu.edu/search/instructorBio.jsp?id=207267&bioIndex=0
And it reads as follows:
Instructor Biography
Edith Sylla
Edith Sylla; Ph.D., history of science, Harvard University; taught at
NCSU for over 41 years such courses as "Ancient and Medieval Science,"
"The Scientific Revolution," "Women in Science," and "Science and the
Citizen."

I can add that I know her personally. We were both in the Wake County
Phi Beta Kappa organization for many years, and I knew her when I was
on the history faculty at NC State University. Her husband (Harvard,
economics) also taught at NCSU and then finished out his career at
NYU. They must be back in Raleigh in full retirement.  NCSU has always
had a strong interest in the history of science, and she was the chief
professor for these courses for her entire career here.  First-class
lecturer and scholar--you can't do any better than this.

You should take this class.  Unfortunately for some of us, we'll be
out of town in Poznan at this time, taking up 21st-century science in
Poland beginning on May 13.

Encore's homepage is:
https://onece.ncsu.edu/mckimmon/divisionUnits/encore/index.jsp

The registration form can be found at:
https://onece.ncsu.edu/mckimmon/divisionUnits/encore/register.jsp

ENCORE is a great program. I've given three course so far and hope to
give many more.  All my courses have involved six 1.5-hour sessions
rather than three:
1. History of Poland (2009)
2. History of the First World War (2011)
3. Not Just Nowicki: Polish Architects at NCSU and the World" (2012)

Thanks!
