Dear Student/Colleague 

The deadline for applications for the study abroad program to Namibia is 
December 12, 2008. 

The Fisheries & Wildlife Sciences program at North Carolina State 
University offers a three week study abroad program to Namibia (south 
western Africa) from May 17 to June 05, 2009. Namibia is one of Africa’s 
most stable and safe countries to travel to with a good infrastructure and 
a well developed tourism industry. This program focuses on African 
wildlife-, savanna- and desert ecology, park management, conservation and 
ecotourism with the Namib Desert, Etosha National Park and the Cheetah 
Conservation Fund as the highlights. Students will visit various 
ecosystems, conduct field work, participate in discussions and field 
lectures, enjoy game drives and bushwalks. This is a unique opportunity 
for students to explore and experience Africa and gain valuable knowledge 
about its ecology, wildlife and conservation. The program will be directed 
by Dr Dörgeloh, a wildlife ecologist with extensive knowledge and many 
years experience in southern Africa. Students from other colleges and 
universities, as well as out-of-state are encouraged to apply. 

NOTE: The recent fall in the Namibian Dollar resulted in a favourable 
exchange rate, and if it stays high, we may be able to reduce the cost of 
the program. We are also in the process of registering the program as a 
permanent course where students will receive 4 graded credits. 

For further information about the program please visit 
http://cnr.ncsu.edu/fer/fishwild/index.html or contact the program 
director. Online applications are available through the NCSU Study Abroad 
Office at http://studyabroad.ncsu.edu I will appreciate it if you can 
distribute this notice amongst your students and colleagues. 

Sincerely
