International Travel Project
Study abroad trip to Costa Rica led by Prof. John Atkinson
Do you have plans to engage in a study abroad course, or have recently returned from an international experience? Or perhaps you are interested in immersing yourself remotely in a new geography or culture.
Project description
We invite you to explore and leverage international travel (either in-person or remotely) via a mentored project.
Meet with an ELN staff member to discuss your specific interests related to international travel and design a project that will deepen your learning while connecting with academic and professional goals.
Project funding can be accessed for subsequent travel or project-related expenses.
