Purpose

To establish guidelines for Group Leads to create and present a concise and informative overview of their approved short-term study abroad programs, highlighting key details while allowing for creativity and personalization.

Presentation Requirements

  • Format: Group Leads are to prepare a presentation of 2-5 slides.
  • Audience: The presentation should be designed for members of the International Education Committee
  • Creativity: While the core content requirements are specified below, Group Leads are encouraged to use engaging visuals, storytelling, and other creative elements to capture interest and effectively convey the program’s unique value.

Core Content to Include

  1. Program Overview:
    • Clearly state the destination(s) of the program (e.g., cities, countries).
    • Provide the duration of the program (e.g., number of days/weeks).
  2. Third-Party Provider:
    • Identify the third-party provider selected to support and facilitate the program. Briefly explain the provider's role and why they were chosen.
  3. Courses Offered:
    • List the course(s) that will be offered as part of the study abroad program.

      • Each Study Abroad Program must incorporate all CLOs from GEA2952 (can be found under sections: Instructor Permission and Student Eligibility for Enrollment in GEA 2952: Globalization – Study Abroad Experience), but due to time constraints, present on at least two of them.
      • The CLOs you select should highlight what students are expected to learn or achieve by the end of the program (e.g., critical thinking, cross-cultural communication, specific disciplinary knowledge).
  4. Rationale for Program and Location Selection:
    • Provide a brief explanation of why this specific program and location(s) were chosen.
    • Highlight unique opportunities offered by the destination(s) that align with the course content, cultural experiences, and overall program objectives.

Submission Timeline:

  • Presentations must be submitted to the Office of International Education for review at least one week prior to the scheduled presentation date. Submissions will be reviewed during the International Education Committee Meeting. Please send your presentation to StudyAbroad@pbsc.edu.

    Presentation Length:

  • The presentation should be concise, lasting no more than 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring it is both informative and engaging.
