Dubai World Expo Applications Due

The leaders of MERG have brought to our attention that the World Expo is happening in Dubai, now and over winter break.  We are willing to consider sending a delegation of students pulled from each of our active groups: MERG, ALLIES, EWB, WIIR, SURGE, EPIIC, LAC, SARC, and Amnesty. It would be one student per group and the IGL would cover the airfare and hotel.  It would be a five day stay.  In return, we would expect the IGL delegation to create a video of your time there and for each student to write a 3-5 page reflection.
