Proposal for
Faculty-Led Cultural Immersion Program (2019-2020)
SUU’s Cultural Immersion Programs provide learning experiences of 5-7 days
abroad for SUU students. The programs, open to all SUU students, are subsidized by
the Office of International Affairs and are designed to give study abroad experiences to
students who might not otherwise have the financial means and/or time to participate in
other study abroad programs. A Cultural Immersion Program must cost less than $1500
per student (ideally, much less than that), including airfare, lodging, on-site travel and
activities, and instructor travel. No more than one credit may be offered on a Cultural
Immersion Program.
The Advisory Board for Learning Abroad (ABLA), a group of faculty, staff, and
students representing SUU’s six colleges, governs all programs abroad offered through
the Office of Learning Abroad. Based on the information provided in your proposal, and
taking into account the funds available for Cultural Immersion Programs, the ABLA will
recommend a subsidy amount for this (and other) proposed Cultural Immersion
Programs for the academic year. In the event that SUU faculty propose more Cultural
Immersion Programs than the Office of International Affairs can subsidize, the ABLA will
determine which Cultural Immersion Programs to offer this year, and those proposed
programs deemed viable and beneficial for students, but that cannot be subsidized this
year, will be given priority in the following year.
