<p class="MsoNormal" style><font>Hi AAA,</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><font><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><font>This may interest you:</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><font><br></font></p><font style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"></span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style>
<font>My name is Kelsey Williams. I am a Junior at Wellesley College in Massachusetts and I am the Vice Chair on the American side for a summer program called the Korea America Student Conference (KASC).</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style>
<font><br></font></p><font style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"></span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style><font>This annual conference brings together 20 American delegates and 20 Korean delegates, led by a team of 10 student Executive Committee members elected from the previous conference, to study R.O.K – U.S. relations with the goal of strengthening the bond between our two countries. Students participate in roundtable study groups, hear lectures from important speakers, visit sites pertinent to the conference goals, and put together a final presentation on an aspect of what they have learned. The conference lasts one month (the month of July this coming summer) and the students travel together through four different major cities. The conference is held in Korea or the U.S., alternating every other year. This year will be in the U.S.; specifically in Indiana, Washington D.C., Missouri, and California.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><font><br></font></p><font style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"></span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style><font>We are looking for all the help we can get in spreading the word about this conference to recruit a team of talented and dedicated delegates. We are completely student run, and as the conference is only in its 5<sup>th</sup> year, we do not yet have as extensive a group of alumni as we’d like and so we can’t visit every university in person. It would be great if you could simply forward this email to any students you think might be interested. We are looking for students with a diverse background of interests, so a focus on East Asian or Korean Studies is not at all necessary.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><font><br></font></p><p style><font>You can find more detailed information about KASC at our website, <a href="http://iscdc.org/kasc/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://iscdc.org/kasc/</a>, or go directly to the page for this summer’s upcoming conference here: <a href="http://iscdc.org/kasc/2012/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://iscdc.org/kasc/2012/</a>. There are also posters and fliers available to download on the website if you need materials to easily hand out.</font></p>
<p style><font> </font></p><p style><font>Applications for this summer are due by March 1<sup>st</sup> and can be found on the website.</font></p><p style><font> </font></p><p style><font>Although KASC is fairly young, our sister program, JASC (the Japan America Student Conference) has been running successfully for over 60 years. Our conference has also been endorsed by both U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and R.O.K. President Myung-Bak Lee. This conference provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with students from another country and build friendships and network internationally. I encourage anyone with an interest in International Relations or who simply wants to improve their skills as a young professional in the international business world to apply.</font></p>
