DEAN OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION February 25, 2016
We are pleased to announce the call for Summer 2017 Global Seminars. The UC San Diego 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.
Over fifty 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 fifteen Global Seminars in twelve cities (Amman,
Athens, Berlin, Edinburgh, Granada, London, Paris, Parma, Quito, Rome,
Seoul, and Tokyo) during Summer 2016, and Study Abroad UC San Diego
hopes to offer another compelling selection of seminars in Summer 2017. Detailed program information and an application may be found on the
faculty page of the Study Abroad UC San Diego website: Click on the PDF links in the body of the web site to access the RFP and other documents. To learn more about current Global Seminar offerings for this summer, visit the student web page at: http://globalseminar.ucsd.edu Together with Professor Scott Baden, Faculty Director of Study Abroad UC San Diego, and Dr. Kirk Simmons, Dean of the International Center, we invite you to submit a proposal to lead a Global Seminar in Summer 2017. A committee will review proposals with an aim to offer students a range of destinations, disciplines, and costs. Proposals received by Friday, April 15, 2016 will be considered for the Summer 2017 program. Two information sessions about these faculty-led Global Seminar programs will be held. One will be held on Monday, February 29, 2016 from 4:00-5:00 PM in the International Center Oceanids Pavilion and the other is on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 from 4:00-5:00 PM in the International Center Oceanids Pavilion.
