The Vice President for Research and Economic Development and International Programs has provided funding for exploratory travel to be awarded in the spring of 2015. The aim of the exploratory travel fund is to increase the number of faculty-led short-term Study Away programs towards an end of increasing students’ cultural competence. Additionally, funded travel will help to ensure faculty preparedness in safety measures for future short-term Study Away programs. The application deadline is March 19, 2015. Please review the request for proposals here. Examples of past funded proposals are found here. Contact Study Away Director Elizabeth Strong, 836-6368, if you have any questions.
