We still have a few spots left on the trip. If you've considered joining the trip, now is the time to do so. Here are some things you should know about:

• Russia Trip Rally: Monday, February 6 [updated details] at 4:00 p.m. in the Honors College Commons. Bring your IEFS form if you haven't filled it out by now! We'll have updates on the itinerary and other news related to the trip. Bring a friend who is interested in joining you on the trip! We'll also start taking down roommate preferences at this meeting.
  
• IEFS Scholarship:  The due date is 2/24/2017, but you should get this in as soon as possible, if you are eligible for the scholarship. See http://www.uh.edu/learningabroad/scholarships/iefs/
• Honors College students are eligible for a $500 scholarship. Note that this cannot be used in conjunction with certain other travel stipends.
• If you still need a valid passport, now is the time to get one. It takes several weeks to process the application, and you will need to provide a passport number by 3/1/2017.
