This SUSI program, offered to 20 student leaders from Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam, will take place over the course of five weeks, from June 28 to August 2, 2009, including an academic residency component of approximately four weeks and a domestic travel component of approximately one week that will conclude with a 3 day program in Washington, D.C.
