Social Change and International Development: DPMI@DC Has OPENINGS

Are you still trying to figure out your full summer plans? We just got word that there are openings for 1 to 4 Middlebury students and alumni to participate in the DPMI (Design, Partnering, Management, and Innovation) international development and social change program being held in Washington, DC from June 4-15, 2018 (2 weeks) this summer. This will be the last year that they offer DPMI/DC, so it would be a super opportunity for those who don’t want to come to CA for the training. The website for the program is here. They are trying to fill these spots fast, and the cost is a reduced $400 (for alumni too!).

Should you have any questions, I will direct you to our MIIS colleague:

Beryl Levinger, Ph.D.

Distinguished Professor and Chair, Development Practice and Policy Program

Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey  (MIIS)

Tel: 831.233.3340

Skype: berylbeth

blevinger@miis.edu 

I hope some of you will take advantage of this generous offer. Many Middlebury students have taken DPMI and are grateful for the applied practical project management and strategic planning skills they were able to acquire.
