Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
India Introduction
Three colleges -- Hamilton, Hobart and William Smith and St. Lawrence - form the New York State Independent College Consortium for Study in India (NYSICCSI). NYSICCSI offers a rich and rigorous program designed to introduce college students to the great geographic and cultural diversity of northern India during the fall semester.
The program is directed by a faculty director from one of the NYSICCSI
colleges, who accompanies the students in India. The faculty director
oversees the curriculum, including the content and staffing of the
courses taught by Indian nationals. The faculty director is accompanied
and assisted by an assistant director whose qualifications complement
those of the faculty director. The faculty director for the Fall 2013 semester will be Vikash Yadav of Hobart and William Smith College..
