The Overnight Group  Travel Program Timeline helps you get started.  CIE Director Cristen Casey is available to brainstorm options. Schedule a meeting with Cristen anytime.

Faculty-led study abroad courses enable Albion students to travel internationally with the guidance and support of an Albion faculty member. Students earn credit in classes on campus followed by a 2-4 week international trip. Professional services are available to organize excursions, logistics, and on-site support. Examples of Albion faculty-led programs include the Holocaust Studies Service Learning Project, European Integration Rome Field Experience, Sup de V: Int’l Entrepreneurial Exchange, and Africa: Myth and Reality (FYS).

Students can apply for Albion Go! Grant funding to participate. Whether they travel or not, students can apply for a free US passport through the Albion Explorer Free Passport Program.

The University of St Andrews is now accepting applications for their Global Fellowship Program for visits taking place during the 2024/25 academic year. The program provides awards to talented scholars from around the globe to spend up to one month in St Andrews, Scotland. During this time, Global Fellows will be able to undertake a course of research and study, explore potential collaborations, enhance existing relationships, advance research work and find the space to think in an inspirational environment.

(posted November 2023).  Every summer, it has been JCU’s tradition to offer international experiences to visiting faculty members.  The course stipend is $5000 which should be sufficient for transportation and accommodation in Rome.

Should you wish to apply, send their CV and resume to Dean Arnone at sarnone@johncabot.edu.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dean Arnone (sarnone@johncabot.edu) or the Vice President of Academics, Mary Merva (mmerva@johncabot.edu).

Albion College’s international liaison to the GLCA/ GLAA is Dr. Midori Yoshii. GLCA grant proposals are submitted directly to GLCA. Prior to submitting a proposal to GLCA, discuss with Albion College’s Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations office.

GLCA Global Crossroads Grant opportunities include:

1. Global Course Connections – Portions of two courses offered on two or more Alliance campuses in different countries are connected via technology. A requirement is that students across the courses work collaboratively to explore course topics. Courses looking for a Global Course Connections match can be found here.
2. Themed Courses – The focus is on collaborative development of shared course materials, typically resulting in one or more course modules that are used in the courses offered by the collaborating faculty members.
3. Global Learning Courses – Global Learning is different from Global Course Connections in three respects: Developing cultural competence must be an assessable outcome of all Global Learning courses; Global Learning courses must have at least two thirds of their syllabi in common; and at least one of the schools in each connection MUST be a GLCA school.
4. New Directions in Global Scholarship – This program supports GLCA faculty members wishing to develop a new area of scholarly expertise that extends the global reach of current research or teaching. Recipients must seek out collaborators from Alliance institutions with expertise in the subject.

Albion’s study abroad affiliates provide funding for Albion staff and faculty to  participate in familiarization trips (“fam trips”) to their study abroad sites.
