Call for Faculty-Led Study Abroad/Away Program Proposals for Summer 2022
Proposals for faculty-led study abroad and study away programs to run in summer 2022 are due APRIL 1, 2021.
Complete proposals should be submitted via email to the Study Abroad Office (studyabroad@towson.edu). IMPORTANT: Proposals should be approved by the department chair(s) AND submitted virtually to the college dean(s) two weeks prior to submission to the Study Abroad Office. Faculty members will be notified within one month of the proposal deadline regarding the outcome of their proposal.
**NOTE: If you already elected to defer a study abroad program originally scheduled to run in summer 2020 or summer 2021, you are NOT required to submit another proposal for the same program for summer 2022. If you would like to offer your program in summer 2022 and have not yet notified the Study Abroad Office please do so as soon as possible.**
NEW FOR 2022! TU Study Away faculty-led programs provide an opportunity for TU students to study in context within the U.S. These short-term credit-bearing academic experiences will range from one to three weeks in length and may be offered as stand-alone programs or as an embedded component of a semester-long course. The programs will increase access to experiential learning for TU students. As with study abroad programs, proposals to lead a program must be reviewed and approved by the academic department chair, dean, and the TU Faculty-Led Study Abroad/ Away Programs Subcommittee. Faculty leaders will work with the TU Study Abroad Office to develop and implement the program.
“Study abroad combines several of my passions: travel, teaching, and working with young people. From teacher, to mentor, to tour guide, to counselor … I’ve learned that I have the temperament, curiosity, energy, compassion, and desire to simultaneously perform these functions and am developing the knowledge and skills to carry them out. The benefits to being involved in this study abroad program are invaluable for me personally and professionally.” Dr. Sandy Nichols – Department of Mass Communication
