ACADEMIC SENATE FACULTY
| SUBJECT: | Call for Proposals - Global Seminars Summer 2011 - Faculty- |
| Led Study Abroad Programs |
We are delighted to announce the call for Summer 2011 Global Seminars. Last fall, the Academic Senate approved the Global Seminar program as a permanent study abroad offering for UC San Diego. The Global Seminar program offers Academic Senate faculty the opportunity to teach two four-unit courses in an international location during a five-week summer session, with the benefit of full logistical support through the Programs Abroad Office.
Fourteen seminars have been taught abroad by UC San Diego faculty since the Global Seminars program began in Summer 2008. Planning is well underway for up to ten Global Seminars in eight cities (Paris, Rome, Cadiz, Istanbul, Budapest, Dublin, Amman, and Athens) during Summer 2010, and the Programs Abroad Office hopes to offer even more seminars in Summer 2011. Detailed program information and an application may be found on the faculty page of the Programs Abroad Office website at:

Together with Professor Sharon Rose, Faculty Director of Programs Abroad, and Lynn Anderson, Dean of International Education, we invite you to submit a proposal to lead a Global Seminar in Summer 2011. A selection committee will review proposals with an aim to offer students a range of destinations, disciplines, and costs. Proposals received by Thursday, April 15, 2010 will be considered for the Summer 2011 program.
An information session about these faculty-led Global Seminar programs will be held on Tuesday, March 2 from 5:00-6:00 PM in the International Center Oceanids Pavilion. Speakers will include faculty who have previously taught Global Seminars and Jim Galvin, Director of Opportunities Abroad and Faculty-Led Programs.
Please contact Jim Galvin (x4-7857 or jgalvin@ucsd.edu) with any questions regarding Global Seminars and Lynn Anderson (x4-0685 or ander043@ucsd.edu) with international education or study abroad questions.
