Haiti 101 - Florida International University

It was recently brought to my attention that Florida International University offers a Haitian Summer Institute Course each Summer through its Latin American and Carribean Center.  The course is designed for individuals who would like to speak Kreyol and understand Haitian history and culture.

The program is six weeks long beginning June 25th and ending August 5th.  Courses generally run from 9:30 am to 12 noon and 1 pm to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday.  The location is FIU's  University Park Campus.  You do not have to be a student at FIU to take advantage of these courses.  From the website, it seems that there are housing options for out of town participants.  

I was happy to see that this course exists.  For those who cannot take time off of work, perhaps the University can consider the creation of an online course.   For more information, call 305-348-2894 or email lacc@fiu.edu
