Down Under Summer Trip

July 16 - 26

This year's group vacation is all the way to Australia. We will be staying at Palm Cove Hotels, one of the best discount hotels in Queensland. The trip is based around the Aboriginal Strategies 2009 conference, where we will hear speaker Dr. Evans Adams that spoke at our national BSA conference last year about the similarities between the African American issues in US and Aboriginal social issues in AU. After the conference, particpants may travel independently or join a group tour scheduled for Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Once again, our trip is subsidized by generous corporate sponsorships, including IBM and Brighthouse. Additionally, for our airfare to Australia, cheap flights are being arranged with 15% discount through a generous donation by Expedia.com.au, must book as group for discount. Please contact Jackie Morgan, Events Coordinator, at jackiem@duke.bsa.edu for more information.

Student Health Insurance For BSA Members

With health care costs what they are these days, having a health insurance plan is crucial. Although there is hope on the horizon, the new health care legislation recently passed by Congress doesn't take effect for a good long while yet, so for the time being we're on our own. Luckily, BSA members can find some great discounted quotes on Student Health Insurance at gohealthinsurance.com. This is a limited time offer only. So, be sure to take advantage of it while it lasts!
