Student Leaders from the Western Hemisphere

ITD is administering the Study of the United States Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders of the Western Hemisphere through funding from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State. The Institutes consist of five, 5-week programs for groups of university student leaders from Latin America.
