Faculty Site Visit Grants

The International Office is pleased to announce that it will be able to reinstitute the Faculty Site Visit Grants for 2011-12 program visits.

The Faculty Site Visit grants provide up to $500 in reimbursable funds to  tenured or tenure-track faculty to visit a relevant affiliated study abroad program.  These awards are designed to provide supplemental funding to enable faculty who will be abroad for an international conference, research trip abroad, or other travel abroad to extend their stay for a few days in order to visit a study abroad program.  Grants may be used to reimburse in-country travel, hotel, meals, and other travel expenses. 

If you are interested in applying, please download the application details and contact Stacey Shimizu in the International Office.

Group Site Visits

Several of our affiliated programs also sponsor group visits of their study centers.  These group visits generally last 5-10 days and involve meetings with program staff and faculty, tours of facilities, class visits, and cultural activities.  In-country travel, housing and meals are usually included, but participants are expected to cover international travel and a registration fee (the International Office may be able to help defray some of these costs, but not all). Participation in these is open to interested faculty.  For more information, please visit the Faculty Development Opportunities page or contact Stacey Shimizu.
