A new course — Cuba in Transition: A Study Abroad Program — will be taught and led by Cliff Staten, professor of political science and international studies, during summer session 1 in 2012. The class is a six-week course from June 1 to 18, 2012 —three weeks in the classroom and three weeks traveling in Cuba. The group will also meet up with students from Spring Hill College. Staten said 14 students have applied for the course and there are still openings. Interviews will be conducted in early October.
