What course are you enrolled in, or planning to enroll in?
HEADS UP! If your summer term course conflicts with your program/project, you will NOT be able to do both.
Apply to a Project

You may only apply to one project, but you will be asked which project is a "runner-up" in your mind, if your top choice is not available.
Choose the 4-week intercultural learning program you wish to apply to:*
What interests you about this program? Please discuss any relevant coursework, major/minor coursework, personal, professional, or familial background. *
What prior experience, if any, do you have with the project topic, location (if applicable), or theme? No experience is necessary.*
These projects will feature collaboration with a faculty member and a small group of students. Reflecting on group projects or team experiences you’ve had, do you feel you are most often a leader, mediator, or supporter? (Teams will need ALL of these roles so do not feel compelled to answer that you are a strong leader!) Choose the role(s) that you typically assume in a group and explain below. *
How will participating in this project help you achieve your personal and/or professional goals?*
What other activities/plans do you have this summer in the same general timeframe as this project/program (June/July)?*
HEADS UP! If you are taking a summer term course and it conflicts with your program/project, you will NOT be able to do both.

Runner-Up Choice
Please select your "runner-up" choice, if you have one. This is your 2nd choice project, that you would be happy to do if your first choice is not available due to over-enrollment. Selecting a runner-up is optional. If there are no other programs you're interested in doing, select "Not applicable."
