• Set at the lovely Institute for Advanced Studies, this will be a magical experience for those fortunate enough to take part.
• Experience the warmth of the 70s and 80s while people stateside are struggling with winter.
• Experience major intellectual stimulation while others are trying to digest their holiday overindulgence.
• Experience the camaraderie of peers who truly care in a setting that is impossible to duplicate.
• An experience and an incredible bargain.
