The Center for Global Education would to like announce a new program proposal process.

Starting in fall 2015, all current and future Mason faculty who wish to lead a short-term academic study abroad program through CGE will be required to submit either a Request for Program Renewal or a New Study Abroad Program Proposal.  Winter short-term programs run for approximately two weeks in early January and offer three credits. Summer short-term programs run for approximately four weeks in the summer and offer six credits.

• New Study Abroad Program Proposal:
  Mason faculty who wish to offer a new short-term program through CGE should submit this form, even if they have previously worked with CGE on another program. 
• Request for Program Renewal: 
  Mason faculty and/or staff who have previously worked with CGE on a short-term program should submit this form to CGE if they wish to repeat that program in the upcoming academic year. 

All new Proposals and Renewal Requests for programs including necessary attachments should be submitted via email to Laura Scobey.

Decisions will be made in early October for summer programs and in mid-June for winter programs. Click here for a complete timeline of the program proposal process for the FA15/SP16 semesters.

Beginning in the spring of 2016, CGE will offer a series of workshops focusing on content development, preparing a program budget, and marketing and recruitment for short-term programs. These workshops are designed to assist new faculty and staff with the proposal process, but are also open to those who plan to submit a Renewal Request. Attendance is not required, but is highly recommended for new faculty and staff who have not yet worked with the Center for Global Education.

Join CGE for an information session about the new process on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 2pm in the Johnson Center, Room 239A!

Please direct any inquiries about the program proposal process to Laura Scobey by email at [log in to unmask] or by phone at 703-993-2106. 

Feel free to share this announcement with any colleagues that may be interested in offering a study abroad program.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Marie alice Arnold
