Supreme Court Justice Springer Speaks in San Sebastián In October, Nevada Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Springer spoke to a group of law professors of the University of the Basque Country and to local members of the judiciary. The program was organized by Gregorio Monreal, professor of law and former rector of the University of the Basque Country in collaboration with the University Studies Abroad Consortium. Previously, Justice Springer spoke to American and Italian professors and students at the University of Turin. The Turin speech was sponsored by the Scuola di Amministrazione Aziendale of the University of Turin in collaboration with the USAC. Studies Abroad The University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), established nearly nine years ago for the purpose of offering American students the opportunity to study in the Basque Country, continues to grow and flourish.

We are particularly excited about the new six-week summer Bayonne Program which offers intensive French and/or Basque language, culture, history, and French literature. The program begins with a three-day tour of Paris. The Consortium is now accepting applications for its 1991 summer and fall programs. Summer Programs - Dates: June 25-August 10.
