Asian Studies Opportunities 

September 2014

It was great to meet so many of you in the first weeks of the semester. Don't forget to wear those tshirts. If you have questions about the Asian Studies minor or other events, contact the Director of Asian Studies at asianstudies@as.ua.edu. 

Film Screening 

Thursday, 11 September, at 3:30 in tenHoor 347 we will screen the animated film Sita Sings the Blues. For more information, check out the Asian Studies website.

Asian Studies and Your Future

What can you do with an Asian Studies minor? Virtually anything. Graduates of our program have pursued graduate work in a variety of disciplines, some related to the study of Asia. Alumni are also teaching and working in various parts of Asia. With 60% of the world's population in Asia, opportunities to work with NGOs, educational institutions, and businesses will continue to be available. If you are interested in learning more about how the Asian Studies minor can help you do more that you want to do, set up an appointment to talk with the Asian Studies Program Director at asianstudies@as.ua.edu.

Study and Travel in Asia

We have just begun the Fall semester, but it is not too early to begin thinking about studying in Asia for a semester or next summer. Study Abroad opportunities for Alabama students are administered through Capstone International. If you are concerned about paying for study abroad, check out Capstone International's Other Scholarships page and the Asian Studies Scholarships page. Some deadlines are approaching, so don't delay.

Upcoming Events

Future events are being planned, including a screening and discussion of the Bollywood comedy Lage Raho Munnabhai on October 21. Look for more information in the next newsletter
