Seminar Locations: Slippery Rock University

 

In 2012, Armand Policicchio and Andrew Colvin will lead two 15-hour seminars (one in the Spring & one in the Fall) at Slippery Rock University in Slippery Rock, PA. The Spring 15-hour seminar will focus primarily on China, while the Fall 15-hour seminar will focus on Japan and Korea. The two 15-hour seminars can be taken independently, but those who complete both seminars will receive additional benefits (see below).
