Academic Study in and Travel to Cuba

Late Sunday night just before bed I was clearing out one of my inboxes and there were several Google Alerts that were talking to Cuba and then Monday there was much more in the E-World about U.S. citizens traveling to (and studying in) Cuba so I thought I would post to IHEC Blog about it.


I'm starting another busy period with my dissertation so this (and probably many more IHEC Blog posts) will simply provide links to information about recent developments pertaining to travel and study in Cuba.
