Intensive English Language Program
The Krieger School's Summer Intensive English Language
Program has opened registration for its 2008 session, June
30 to Aug. 1. The IELP gives non-native
English speakers daily classes in Oral Communication,
Reading and Writing, American Culture, TOEFL
Prep and English for Medical Professionals. The English
immersion continues after class and on
weekends, when participants join social activities,
including Orioles baseball and sailing. Testing on the
first day of the program provides appropriate placement in
intermediate, advanced and advanced-plus
skill levels.
Classes are open to the entire Johns Hopkins community
and their families and friends. JHU
postdoctoral students and employees may be eligible for
tuition remission. Applicants needing visas
must apply for them immediately in order for paperwork to
be processed. For information, e-mail
esl@jhu.edu, call
410-516-5431 or go to
www.jhu.edu/ltc/esl.

PURA Program
Applications for the fall 2008 PURA program are now
available online at

They must be submitted by noon on April 21. (The deadline

Full-time freshmen, sophomores and juniors will have
the opportunity to conduct original
research, guided by a faculty sponsor, through the PURA

and related travel. Students from all disciplines are
encouraged to submit proposals; sponsors must be
full-time faculty and can be from any division of the
university.
Applications are now being accepted in the Office of
the Provost, 265 Garland Hall, Homewood
campus. For additional information and guidelines, see the
