Lausanne is located near <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geneva.ch\/\">Geneva<\/a>, known throughout the world as the center for international law, policy, and diplomacy. Widener students have been traveling to Switzerland for a unique and exciting summer program since 1991. Since 2009, we have enjoyed a more user-friendly location, academic host, and shorter course format, allowing students to choose more travel time after completing coursework, or taking a second set of courses in our <a href=\"ipl:\/\/308\/\/W10=\">Venice program<\/a>, or returning home for summer work or other activities. <a href=\"irl:\/\/113\/\/\" target=\"_blank\">Download the Director's Message<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Europe at Your Fingertips<\/h5>\r\n<p>Our host, the venerable <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unil.ch\/index.html\">University of Lausanne<\/a>, boasts views of the Alps and Lake Geneva.
