Galen's Maya Prophecy Class

Galen's Maya Prophecy Class | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Galen University is offering a 2 week Antropology course from December 10th through the 21st. The class is appropriately called 'Exploring the Mystery of the Mayan Prophecy of 2012,' and it focuses on the end of the Mayan calendar.  It will be led by Dr. Jaime Awe and Dr. John Morris, so it's surely going to be great.  Truly a once in a lifetime class.

International Students' Galen Experience

Galen has a great video out of some of their international students talking about and explaining their experiences while studying at Galen.  They have a great Anthropology division, with Ms. Sherry Gibbs and Dr. Jaime Awe.  Now is the time to register for the Fall 2013 semester.  And remember, education does cost one money, but ignorance costs everyone so much more.

 

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."
