NairobiCityScape365Our summer program in Kenya will begin again from June 13 to July 16, 2010! For those of you who have not heard of our Nairobi program, it is an extraordinary academic and cultural experience that will change the way you view the world. Since 1988, Widener University’s Nairobi Institute has offered this program in partnership with the University of Nairobi in one of the most beautiful, vibrant countries in the world, Kenya. View the general slide show to see life in Nairobi and activities in the program. See the Director’s Message link for a summary of the program. The American Bar Association’s Committee on Accreditation approved the program for credit at all U.S. law schools. We will send each accepted student a copy of our comprehensive manual (also available in PDF format for download), which describes how to prepare for the trip and what to expect during your stay.
