This is to give you advance notice of major trips the Honors Program is sponsoring next year.

 

Over the break between Fall and Spring semesters, the Honors Program will again be sponsoring the Yucatan Study Trip, which can be taken for academic credit as a Spring 2009 course in a number of different departments:  Biology, Classical and Modern Languages, Economics, Communication and Theatre Arts, History, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology.  It also offer Honors credit, credit within the Latin American Studies Concentration, and international "R" core credit.  We'll be leaving December 29 and returning January 11.  The estimated cost is $2150, including airfare, lodging, all required fees, and some meals.  For more information see the information sheet and application.

 

In the summer of 2009 the Honors Program will be sponsoring two service-based immersion trips.  We'll be doing the one we've sponsored for several years to Tijuana, Mexico, from August 14-23, 2009 and a new one to Guatemala May 11-May 19, 2009.  Information on the Tijuana trip is available on the web at http://www.jcu.edu/honors/los_ninos.html We'll be making information available about the Guatemala trip soon. We will be working with Los Ninos, the same organization with which we've worked in Tijuana.  We hope to hold the cost to students (which is often fund-raised) of the Tijuana trip to $750, and the Guatemala trip to $900.

 

If you are interested in any of these trips, please email Bob Kolesar.  The number of students who can be accommodated on each is limited.  This year our trips to the Yucatan and Tijuana filled quickly.
