Program on U.S.-Russia relations

Under this program, U-M students may design and pursue short-term experiential learning projects focusing on cultural, economic, social and political issues of importance to the U.S. - Russia relationship.

IPC looks for a range of creative (but feasible) proposals that focus on practical professional development related to Russia and the broader region. Examples include:

• Volunteering with organizations focused on Russian/Eastern European/Central Asian cultural exchange with the U.S.;

• Participating in domestic or international training sessions for future American diplomats, businesspeople or economists working on Russia and the surrounding region;

• Participating in international affairs/policy simulations related to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO);

• Curating an art exhibit related to the region.

IPC and CREES typically offer three award cycles for this opportunity (fall, winter, and spring/summer terms).
