Embedded Travel Component Courses: An Exciting Opportunity

November 15, 2019

CISGO wants faculty to know about an exciting opportunity to develop and lead a course that includes an embedded travel component, according to CISGO chair Lisa Reed, business.  The Provost Council recently approved Guidelines for Courses with Embedded Travel Components and a Proposal Form to guide faculty in preparing proposals for these types of courses.

CISGO is accepting proposals for courses to be offered in spring 2021 (deadline for proposal submissions is January 13, 2020) and fall 2021 (deadline for proposal submissions is September 1, 2020).  Questions?  Please contact Reed (reedl@up.edu); Eddie Contreras, assistant provost for international, diversity, and inclusion (contrera@up.edu); or studies abroad director Kallan Picha (picha@up.edu).
