Calling All Alumni!

Shinn Study Abroad is interested in hearing from our alumni Shinn Scholars. We would like to hear your stories and reflections about what studying abroad as part of your undergraduate curriculum meant to you, and we would like to invite you to help pass along the same opportunities to our current and future Shinn Scholars. If you are an alumnus of the program, and would like to become involved in the Shinn Study Abroad Committee, so that you can help exemplary RIC undergraduates achieve their dreams of studying abroad, contact us here through this blog, or email us at ShinnFund@gmail.com.

Hi All Shinn Fund Followers,

We are coming up to the final events in this 25th Anniversary year celebration. It has been a wonderful year so far and we want to finish in style. Therefore, do join us at the co-sponsored with the History Department Spring Lecture on Roger Williams. Dr. Stan Lemon will be speaking on March 27th  in the evening.

Our final event will be the Awards Reception on April 26th. Join us for the RIC Student Theater production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels as a matinee and then meet new and past Shinn Scholars at the reception in Alger 100.

We look forward to seeing you there.
