Faculty lead travel programs

The International Programs Office offers many opportunities for students to travel abroad and learn about another culture while earning academic credit. Among the options for students are short-term travel study programs organized by campus faculty. These programs, while primarily designed for students, also attract members of the community who appreciate the academic focus.

Dr. Yaw Oheneba-Sakyi, professor and chair of Africana and American Indian Studies, has organized "African Civilization Revisited Study Tour of Egypt," scheduled for Dec. 26, 2003 – Jan. 6, 2004. He will host a preview of the program on Thursday, Sept. 4 at 5:30 p.m. in Education Building, room 140.

Dr. Ruth Masters and Dr. Les Pincu will escort "Administration of Justice and Culture in Guatemala City, Guatemala" from Jan. 5 - 12, 2004. In recent years these two Criminology experts have organized travel programs to France, Belgium, Turkey, China, the Czech Republic and Peru.

Information on short-term travel study programs is available from the International Programs Office, Family and Food Science, room 111, phone 8-6452.
