Golan Heights and Masada. Dia
logues with representatives of diverse
political, religious and ethnic groups
will also be featured. The Israel
group will leave in early June and
return in August. Students will be
housed in dormitories and meals
will be provided at the institute.
Home hospitality with Israeli families
will be offered on weekends.
The program is open to all college
students having an overall grade
point average of 2.5, and to others
who are eligible to study at a state
college or university. Total cost of
the program is $2,300 for Georgia
students which includes room, board,
transportation and tuition. Out-

Israel program are transferable within
the Georgia University System.
