A track of courses for those who want to study abroad may be developed and more faculty members will be able to lead trips created around their areas of specialization. Trips offered this summer will include English Professor Kathy Ackley taking students to London to study mystery writers, Music Professor Patrick Miles heading to Europe with a group to study opera firsthand, Professor Steven Sherwin s students going to London to study drama, and interior architecture and art students traveling to Switzerland, Germany, France and the Czech Republic with Professor Mark Nelson. One thing that won t change is IP s dedication to preparing students for international study and travel, Staszak said. There is an emphasis on academics . We try to make sure their expectations are the same as the university s.
Travel has life changing effects on students, building maturity and self confidence.
One UWSP student wrote IP while abroad. Thanks for everything you ve done to make it an experience of a lifetime for us all. Students from other campuses also travel with UWSP programs. The value was impressive. The trip was well planned, adventurous and highly entertaining.
