The goal of the International Field Program Spring Seminar is to prepare you for your summer field and academic experience such that you arrive feeling organized and confident, and you leave feeling you made the most of the experience. We will try to familiarize you with the context in which you will be living and working; discuss the country's history, culture and politics; and review your proposed work on the ground. The seminars will include skills workshops, simulations, speakers, films and readings.

Successful completion of the IFP Spring Seminar is a prerequisite to participate in the IFP Summer Session. This will be determined by:

• Attendance at all seminars.
• Reading all material.
• Active participation in discussions.
• Attendance at and participation in skills workshops, simulations, and IFP events.
• Completion of Country Briefing, Terms of Reference for internship and Research Proposal for summer.
