Plan your faculty-led travel study program
<p>The Center for Global Education values faculty and academic staff interest in developing and leading short-term faculty-led international programs. We look forward to assisting faculty and staff in what will be a richly rewarding opportunity, both for their own professional development and the academic and personal development of UW-Whitewater students.</p>
<p>Please contact Han Ngo (<a href="mailto:ngoh@uww.edu">ngoh@uww.edu</a>) in the Center for Global Education to set up an appointment to discuss your proposal idea.</p>
<p>After determining location, timing, and course topic, faculty and academic staff interested in leading a faculty-led program must submit a detailed proposal accompanied by their Chair's feedback and signature to the Center for Global Education for review. Proposals are due the year before the course, by the following deadlines</p>
<ul>
<li>Fall and Winterim programs: Oct. 15 for the following Fall and Winterim terms</li>
<li>Spring and summer programs: March 15 for the following Spring and Summer terms</li>
