PRIDE FOR FIVE APPEAL IS FOR YOUNG ALUMNI
For UB graduate student Kerry Sheeley, serving as chair of the university's Pride for Five is an opportunity to show her appreciation for receiving an excellent education that also offers her a way to contribute to the university's future.

Pride for Five, part of UB's Annual Appeal, is a five-year approach to raising support for the university from young alumni that begins with the Senior Challenge appeal that asks seniors to support a class gift to UB.

Sheeley, who received a bach-elor's degree in physiology and nutrition from UB in 1996, previously served as a committee member for the Senior Challenge. Studying for a master's degree in nutrition in the UB School of Health Related Professions, she plans to attend medical school. "Pride for Five gives me the opportunity to give back to UB, and by doing so, hopefully I can help promote that same feeling of pride in other students," she said.

CULTURE OF PROVENCE: UB-ECC SUMMER PROGRAM
UB and Erie Community College announce the third year of a co-sponsored interdisciplinary program, "The Culture of Provence," to be offered in the south of France in June, 1997.

Offered through the Studies Abroad offices of the two institutions and taught by Professors Ann S. Haskell of UB and Richard Koepsell of ECC, The Culture of Provence is a four-week intensive course in Provencal culture and the French language. Students are able to earn 10 credits, six in the culture course and four for French. The next program will leave for Paris May 31.

Based in Nyons, France, the program is organized around learning French in the morning and applying that language in afternoon trips to historical sites and museums, beginning with the Roman ruins in Vaison-la Romain, and the city's Haute Ville-"high town"-a medieval village built high on a rock outcropping across the river.

Students in the first two years of the program called it "a transforming experience." Previously, participants visited Avignon, site of the medieval Popes' Palace and the Petit Palais, which houses an extensive medieval religious art collection. They visited the Vasarely Museum in Gordes, Madame de Sevigne's chateau in Grignon and museums in Paris, as well as the antique Roman theater at Orange, several Roman bridges still in use and parts of the Roman aqueduct that supplied water to Avignon.

Students live independently in Nyons, where they can experience the local cafes, restaurants and theaters; visit the city market, in continuous operation for more than 600 years, and make trips to local "caves" or wine cellars to sample the regional Côtes-du-Rhône.

Cost for the 10-credit program and all expenses is approximately $5,400-$5,600. For information, call Ann Haskell at UB at 645-2575, or Richard Koepsell at ECC at 851-1091.

UNDERGRAD BUSINESS PROGRAM ADDS NEW CONCENTRATIONS
Two new concentrations have been added to the undergraduate business program in the UB School of Management. Beginning next fall, concentrations in internal auditing and international business will be offered as part of UB's bachelor of science degree in business administration.

The internal auditing concentration is a senior-year option for accounting students whose career interests lie in corporate, industry or governmental accounting. It is one of only 30 curriculums worldwide endorsed by the Institute of Internal Auditors, a designation that will give UB graduates a competitive advantage in the job market, according to program coordinator Alex Ampadu, assistant professor of accounting.

The international-business concentration will require students to complete geography courses in international business, world commerce and international culture, and two semesters of a foreign language, in addition to courses in general business. It is designed to prepare students for management positions within an increasingly international business environment.
