ACTIVITIES

- International Cultural Thursdays- The University of New Haven at CEA's Global Campus in Madrid wants to invite you to a series of monthly events intended for those program directors, faculty members and academic staff who are spending the fall semester in Madrid. We've met many U.S. professors studying abroad in Madrid in the past few years, many of whom have said they found it difficult to meet people with common interests or introduce their students to the secrets of Spanish culture and city of Madrid on their own. With all this in mind, UNH at CEA has organized a series of cultural events this fall to take place at our Global Campus in Madrid (right by the Retiro Park and behind the Prado Museum at C/Alfonso XII, 46 bajo - entrance by C/Espalter).
