CEU
Summer University (SUN) Opened
The CEU Summer University 2002 began on July 1 with a well-attended Welcome
Party, held at the CEU Residence and Conference Center. Eva Gedeon, Summer
University Director greeted participants; opening remarks were made by Istvan
Teplan, CEU Executive Vice President and Sophia Howlett, Dean of Special and
Extension Programs. Iren Lovasz, a well-known Hungarian folk singer and the
Makam band entertained the audience afterwards.
This year will be the seventh for the Summer University, an academic program for
university teachers, administrators and professionals. SUN offers a series of
intensive two, three or four-week courses in social sciences and humanities to
encourage and promote regional academic cooperation and curriculum development
by drawing together young faculty in lectures, seminars and workshops. Courses
are led by professors from Central European University (CEU)
departments/programs as well academics from other regional or western
universities. The courses are supplemented by public lectures, teaching
methodology workshops and optional evening Internet instruction.
This year's offering includes courses on Complex Systems, Art History,
Philosophy, Sociology, Gender, Public Policy and Nationalism.
