Fall 2008 Roosevelt Scholars Seminar
Roosevelt @ UGA, in conjunction with the Honors Program, is offering an exciting course and program in Fall 2008 for students interested in public service and public policy - the Roosevelt Scholars Seminar. The 3-hour course will only be offered to students accepted into the Roosevelt Scholars program. Preeminent experts on campus will instruct students on policy areas such as international trade and security, human rights, education, social welfare, environmental issues, economics, and health care.

Scholars have special publication opportunities, as well as opportunities to meet with policymakers.
