Call for Faculty-Led Study Abroad/Away Program Proposals for Summer 2022
Proposals for faculty-led Study Abroad (international) and Study Away (domestic) programs to run in Minimester and Spring Break 2023 are due NOVEMBER 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 are scheduled to lead a program in Minimester or Spring Break 2022 and your program does not run, you are NOT required to submit another proposal for 2023. If you would like to offer the same program in Minimester or Spring Break 2023, please contact the Study Abroad Office for instructions.
What is Study Away? 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
