Welcome to Our New Faculty Liaison to Study Abroad!
In summer 2019 we welcomed Kara Roche as our new faculty liaison to study abroad, and we couldn’t be more excited to provide our faculty with such an exciting liaison. One of her first initiatives is to lead a group of faculty to San Jose’, Costa Rica to tour the on-site facilities. This gives professors interested in offering a faculty led study abroad program the opportunity to experience first hand what it will be like to take students to a foreign country as part of a course.
Grants are available to lecture, conduct research, or participate in seminars abroad. Learn more:
