2008 Mexico Immersion

Saludos from Alliant in Mexico City!

On behalf of Alliant International University and its Office of International Programs, we are pleased to announce that registration for the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) 2008 Mexico Immersion Program is now open! The program includes internationally known experts who will be joining us as instructors. This will be an enriching cultural experience and profound opportunity for professional enrichment. We hope you will make arrangements to join a community of mental health professionals intent on enhancing cross-cultural and international competencies, particularly with an eye towards better serving the needs of Latino communities. The dates of the program are July 6th to August 9th and the program fee is $4,450.00 for five weeks.

Here is a small sample of the things we will be doing:

• A trip to Veracruz
• The Frida Kahlo Museum
• A temazcal - (indigenous steam bath)
• Visits to pyramids and other ruins
• Lectures on topics such as current political & social issues in Mexico, GLBT issues in Mexico, immigration, local economics & politics, art, Liberation Psychology, and many more
• Visit to the Basilica -- the site of the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe
• And much much more...
