Over the past few years, the size of the student body has fluctua– ted between 50 and 80 students, "it's large enough that there's a diversity of personalities and small enough that they can get to know each other," said Ms. Andriewsky. This reporter had a chance to visit Harvard a few weeks ago and to ask students what motivated them to attend the Ukrainian summer institute. As one might expect, the reasons were as diverse as the personalities of the students. A few said that it's a great way to get to know Boston, while others said they wanted to take advantage of Harvard's abundant research facilities — while at the same time expanding their knowledge of Ukrainian studies. Some students privately admitted that a few of the students might be there because their parents sent them. But the majority claimed to have a genuine interest in Ukrainian studies and a desire to meet other Ukrainian students from across North America. Oleh llnytzkyj, instructor of the "Readings in Ukrainian Culture" course and one of the first graduates of the summer institute, feels that the summer program is of great value, and that most of the students have enrolled for the right reasons. "My feeling is that students are interested and (the courses) open up a lot of new things to them, it gives an opportunity for people who obviously are interested in Ukrainian things, otherwise they wouldn't be here. Har– vard is its own attraction; Cambridge is its own attraction; but 1 think eight weeks is a long time - the expense is quite great - so 1 think you couldn't possibly explain their presence only on that basis.
