Going Abroad - Finding Yourself

The Center for Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies (OCREECAS) is designed to strengthen the study and teaching of Russian, East European, and Central Asian studies at Oberlin. Created in 1998 with support from the Clowes Fund, Inc. and other private contributions, its mission is twofold: to foster on-campus curricular experiences and cultural activities that focus on the region, and to support student research and internships abroad through OCREECAS grants.

Join us as we welcome back three past OCREECAS Internship grant recipients to discuss their experiences overseas: Sarah Chatta '17 (Bukhara, Uzbekistan), Annika Krafcik '20 (Norway), and Isak Saaf '18 (Tashkent, Uzbekistan). All students are welcome. Refreshments will be provided.

Applications for a 2023-2024 OCREECAS Sponsored Internship are due March 15, 2023. To discuss internship opportunities, send an email to Maia Solovieva
