Exciting opportunities to stay involved with VIA!
Dear Former Stanford Program Coordinators
Happy New Year and Winter Greetings from VIA's Stanford office! While we are only two weeks into the new year, VIA staff are in full swing preparing for many exciting programs we have planned for this year. Some new programs we have for 2015 are the Design-Thinking for Social Innovation (DSI) program which we are collaborating with Stanford's ASB program and a program in Japan in September where Stanford students will learn about and engage in recovery efforts from the 3.11 disaster that struck northern Japan.
We are currently looking for coordinators to help run this summer's American Language and Culture (ALC) program. There are also exciting opportunities in Japan offered through our partners. Please see below for details.
