Motivation “As a previous course participant, I felt that my experience abroad could have been strengthened by the presence of a website with information about all the programs, as well as details specific to each country.” Lindsay Giorgi, HSPH PITF, 2008

Purpose of the iSite One-stop portal for all course related information: academic, financial, and logistic.
