This page highlights three important areas for consideration and action prior to your arrival for the fall semester. Please review each and follow the appropriate hyperlinks to access the associated information and activities.
The MDP Intake survey supports the MDP program team in providing the best possible experience for incoming students. Not counting the time required to craft a short personal biography (this varies by individual) you can expect to spend about 5 minutes on this brief survey. It includes:
Student biography - so we can learn about you and share information with others.
Language aptitude - so we can begin developing field experience projects best suited geographically to the incoming cohort.
Tags - keyword selection in the areas of regional interest, thematic interest and skills that help us to connect incoming student with existing students, faculty, alumni and other value added partners such as international fellows and potential employers.
( ! ) Please send a quality-resolution head-shot (picture) to Laura Bell (icgc@umn.edu) before August 16. (!)
