Changes In U.S.-Cuba Relations Prompt Niagara University Students To Explore Havana
The United States and Cuba re-established diplomatic relations in July 2015. As a result, Americans are permitted to travel to Cuba as long as their purpose falls within 12 broad categories of activities, including “educational activities by persons at academic institutions.”
And now a new course on Cuban politics and society at Niagara University includes an intensive two-week research program in Havana and its surrounding areas.
The faculty-led, field-based research component of Cuban Politics & Society (POL 398) will take place May 16-29, 2016.
Niagara University professors David Reilly, Ph.D., and Chris Lee, Ph.D., and Nicole Gerber, Ph.D., emergency manager for Roswell Park Cancer Institute, are co-teaching the six-credit course and accompanying the 22 students on the trip.
