The Global Mobility Committee seeks proposals from faculty and staff on all Ohio University campuses who are interested in contributing to student mobility.
Study abroad/away programs are high impact practices that foster integrative learning which is a goal of OHIO’s general education curriculum and experiential learning broadly. Students who engage in these programs report positive outcomes in many areas, including personal growth, academic knowledge, career development and civic engagement.
The current call is for programs expected to run in summer 2026, fall 2026, summer 2027 or fall 2027.
Programs that meet the following criteria will be considered:
- Credit-bearing, with a preference for courses that offer 1-6 credit hours
- Offered during summer or fall semester
- Have a director and an additional OHIO employee identified with the understanding that both will travel with the program
- Preference given to programs intended to run for the two academic years in this proposal cycle (e.g. summer 2026 and summer 2027).
The Global Mobility Committee will review proposals individually and then with a lens as to how they can work together to create an academic and geographically diverse catalog of study abroad/away programs. Feedback from the associated academic leadership as well as prior program success, in cases where the program has run since 2022, will be considered.
The application deadline is Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, at 11:59 p.m., and individuals will be notified of their submission’s status no later than Feb. 14, 2025.
