Model UN in Central Europe
Seven students and their advisor, Ms. Rebecca Jackson,
traveled to Central Europe from 11 - 29 November 2015 to
engage in academic discourse regarding international relations and experience the past and present in cultural visits
within the Czech Republic and Poland. Students participated in a mock simulation of the United Nations and worked
to overcome and solve global issues including: International Cooperation Against Terrorism, Empowering Women and Girls in the Post-2015
Development Agenda, and the Protection of UNESCO World Heritage
sites in conflict areas. The students engaged in country studies for
the entire fall semester in preparation for this valuable simulation.
A few highlights of the trip included:
 Tour of Prague, including the St. Charles Bridge and Astronomical
clock in Prague's Old Town Hall;
 Visit to Auschwitz Birkenau Concentration Camp Memorial and
Museum;
 Hike up a snow-capped mountainside to marvel at Javoříčko Caves
filled with stalactites and stalagmites; and
 Medieval Times experience at Bouzov Castle.
Jackson stated, “Overall, students found themselves most impacted by
the historical conflicts, natural beauty, and various cultural traditions
that were illuminated during their visit to Central Europe. Each day a
new treasure was revealed as students became more familiar and more
apart of the Old Town Square in Olomouc—-a UNESCO World Heritage
Site where the conference was held.”

Create a Travel/Study Course and Show your Students the World!
Faculty-Led travel study programs are academic experiences that are initiated, organized and carried out by UT Tyler faculty members, working closely with their respective departments and with assistance from staff at the OIP who provide resources to assist with proposal development, facilitate the submission and approval process, and provide guidance to assist with the completion of all required compliancerelated travel documentation. Easy steps to complete the process: http://www.uttyler.edu/oip/facultyresources/createtravelstudy.php
Research shows that programs which are approved and marketed at least two full semesters prior to the time of departure experience better recruitment and
are more successful preparing students for their experience abroad. Faculty members contemplating organizing a travel study experience for their students
are encouraged to contact the OIP as early in the process as possible (recommended at least 18 – 24 months in advance).
A few of the outstanding 2015 Faculty-Led travel study programs, as described by the faculty members leading the trips, are described
below. These trips provided diverse experiences for UT Tyler students—from learning Spanish through academic experiences at a prestigious
university or participating in service-learning experiences aimed at assisting students to learn English in a safe and fun environment in Costa
Rica, to conducting archaeological research or working in schools in Belize, to learning about the historical and political nature of Cambodia
or Israel to working in hospitals in Taiwan. The options and opportunities are limitless. Imagine a program that would fit your students’
needs and contact the OIP to see how we can help you to create the program you have envisioned!
Costa Rica Service Learning
Costa Rica Language Immersion
UT Tyler and TJC students again joined forces for the annual Dos
Ríos School beautification project on 11 - 20 May 2015 planting
trees in the nearby rainforest, creating a new
playground area and painting buildings at the
school. The group enjoyed many adventures
such as horseback riding in the rainforest,
white water rafting along the river, and enjoying the beach. Among the group were 6 UT
Tyler students, led by Dr. Kathleen Everling,
School of Education, and 3 TJC students with Mr. John Hayes.
The third annual Department of Literature and Languages travel
study trip to Costa Rica took place on 12 July - 1 August 2015. Nine
students participated in the 3-week adventure by Dr. Greg Utley.
Students participated in Spanish language
studies at the National University of Costa
Rica, stayed with host families and took weekend trips to the Poás National Volcano Park,
the La Paz Zoological and Rainforest Park, the
beach at Manuel Antonio National Park (one
of the most beautiful national parks in the
world according to Forbes), and also ventured
into the capital city of San José. Language and cultural immersion
can be challenging, but any such issues were quickly dispatched
with many students forming close bonds with
their mamás ticas (house mothers), and swiftly learning the
“ins and outs” of Heredia, their
host city, including navigating
the bus and taxi systems and
figuring out how to get to and around the campus
and the downtown area. New foods were tried
such as gallo pinto, the national dish of Costa
Rica, which consists of eggs, rice, and beans, that
is served for breakfast. Daniela, their esteemed
Spanish instructor, not only guided the students
through the intricacies of Spanish grammar, but also enlightened
them on colloquial expressions such as ¡Pura vida! (fine, great,
among other meanings) and ¡Que chiva! (cool). According to
Dr. Utley, “Certainly everyone’s language skills increased significantly and a global vision was cultivated, a central goal of all immersion
programs.” Planning for the fourth annual travel study trip to Costa
Rica is under way, tentatively scheduled for 9 - 30 July 2016. This
unique experience is open to all, and is of fundamental importance
for all Spanish majors and minors.
¡PURA VIDA!
Maya Research Program: Belize
UT Tyler’s Center for Social Science Research and Maya Research
Program is launching the 25th annual research and training effort in
the Central American nation of Belize. Led by Dr. Tom Guderjan, the
annual project focuses on archaeology but is also a multidisciplinary
effort including geographers, architects, biologists and other scientists. Four UT Tyler students participated during the summer of
2015. This year, funded by the Botanical Research
Institute of Texas, botanist Dr. Josh Banta from UT
Tyler’s Department of Biology will join the MRP
team. UT Tyler students can join students from 40
other colleges and universities from 7 countries in
any of four two-week sessions. Students not only
receive academic credit but intensive training in
“How we know what we know about the past” that
applies to all fields, not just archaeology.
Educator Preparation Program in Belize
The annual learning experience in Belize took place from 14 - 21 June 2015, providing students enrolled in any course in
the educator preparation program with “an opportunity to look at issues covered in current academic content addressing
diversity, multiculturalism, dispositions of educators and ESL learners through a new lens,” stated Dr. Wes Hickey. The
group visited several schools in the Punta Gorda area. “The trip provided an amazing opportunity to not only see the beautiful
country, but also experience how the children of Belize learn and grow...seeing how students thrive even without everyday comforts of running water and electricity opened a new level of understanding and awareness.” Joan Otten, UT Tyler graduate student.

Service Learning in Cambodia
Five UT Tyler students participated in a Cambodia Service Learning Travel Study course from 11 - 31 May 2015 with their faculty leader
Dr. Robert Sterken. The students learned about traditional cultures in the region, the influence of Western values and institutions in Asia,
the socioeconomic development and political change taking place, the relationship between the institutions of the Asian states, nationalism
in the Asian region, and the importance of globalization in Asia. The students visited with at-risk youth, representatives from the Institute of
Foreign Languages at Royal University, NGOs, volunteers, and also visited many important sites. Currently, Dr. Sterken is currently serving as
a Fulbright Scholar in Burma/Myanmar conducting researching and teaching religion and politics, and human rights and international law.
Fourth Annual Israel Spring Break Travel Study in 2015
Since 2012, the College of Arts and Sciences has offered three or six credit hours in Political Science to students interested in a class that
emphasizes the study of the only political democracy in the Middle East. On 5 - 16 March 2015, the fourth annual trip led by Dr. Martin Slann and Ms. Susan Doty took 11 UT Tyler students to Israel. The upcoming 2016 Tour will add an opportunity to enroll in an upper level Economics course as well
that focuses on Israel as a “start-up” nation because of its multi-faceted technological, medical,
and scientific initiatives. Israel’s annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of nearly $300 billion is
more than the total of its immediate neighbors even though Israel’s population of 8.5 million is
only a twentieth of theirs. Classes meet weekly before leaving for Israel and an intensive ten-day
tour enables the students to meet with academics, politicians, journalists, and scientists. The
students also tour religious and archeological sites in the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea region. Each student
pursues a research topic that is selected in collaboration with one of the course’s instructors and gains valuable insights from primary
sources while in Israel. The research efforts are completed upon their return to Tyler and presented in class. The class/study tour is available to all majors in and outside of the College of Arts and Sciences and to both undergraduate and graduate students.
