MIIS-Communications

As you may have noticed crossing campus, the new mural on the side of McCone is looking more beautiful with each passing day. This mural is a joint initiative of the Institute’s Committee on Art in Public Places (ICAPP) and the Old Monterey Foundation.

Thank you to our talented muralist, Yermo Aranda, and the dozens of volunteers who have been painting, including many from our MIIS community.

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the dedication on November 8!

Please RSVP by Tuesday, October 31 at http://go.miis.edu/celebration

After a presidential election like no other, democracy faces challenges like never before. Government institutions, the free press, the judiciary, the integrity of the election itself — all face doubt and even attack, from both foreign and domestic sources. These are the very foundations of self-rule, and those foundations have been shaken.

Want to work on the international frontlines of social impact through unique global internship opportunities this summer? Come to the information session on Social Impact Ambassadors (formerly known as Ambassador Corps) and hear about opportunities in Rwanda, Uganda, Ghana, Guatemala, Nicaragua, India, Jordan and Bangladesh. All opportunities are partially to fully funded through generous donor funds. Students participate in an eight to ten-week hands-on professional experience working with a social enterprise in an emerging market country.

This will be a general information session covering all opportunities available to students at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. Maren Gauldin, assistant director of global recruiting at MIIS, and Orion Lewis, professor of political science, will provide audiovisual presentation and engage students in an open ended discussion of Monterey programs and how they fits with their undergraduate education. Light refreshments provided.
