For students, faculty-led programs provide an opportunity to learn in context. Because faculty-led programs tend to be shorter in duration, they can also help open opportunities for students to study abroad when they may not have otherwise been able to due to academic, personal, or financial circumstances.
To assist you in your program development, the Faculty-Led Education Abroad Programs Committee has created a Faculty-Led Education Abroad Manual. The manual contains detailed information on the planning process, helpful worksheets, and the official program registration form. While we give a brief overview of the steps below, we encourage you to read the manual carefully.
As a faculty leader you must prepare yourself as much as possible for crisis management. The Office of Global Education has created a risk management and emergency response manual, as well as training programs for faculty leaders. The manual can help you prepare yourself and your students before going abroad, as well as give advice on steps to take in case of an emergency. You will receive an updated copy of the manual before you lead a program abroad. Please contact edabroad@kent.edu for the latest version.
Kent State Financial Aid Counselors work specifically with education abroad students to help them construct a plan to finance the costs of education abroad. They are available for consultation with you and your students. Please communicate any changes to cost information or deadlines to them so they can properly advise your students. If you have any questions or if you would like to invite a Financial Aid Counselor to an information session for your program, please reach out to finaideducationabroad@kent.edu.
Returning to life at home can be an unexpectedly bumpy transition. A good way to cope with this is to keep your international experiences alive and make them an active part of your daily life back on campus.
