orientations. To assist you with your orientation, review the CDC Traveler’s Health website

Innovation for Student Recruitment (please complete this section if you would like to be
considered for the ‘travel grant’ – this will pay for up to $3,000 of a faculty leader’s travel costs
associated with a faculty-led study abroad program, thus taking that amount off of the ‘per
student’ program cost)
How will you innovate to recruit students and design a program that will attract a wider range of
students? Special consideration may be given to new leaders and STEM courses. * Programs must
be at least 14 days on the ground.
