Dear Members of Club Geography, Here are flyers and links to two programs offered by the University of Georgia that may be of interest to you. These kinds of experiences require a bit of bankrolling from families sometimes -- if you have a wealthy Aunt, maybe this is a topic for a holiday get together? Joking aside, all of you are already making investments in your education and future and signing up for an experience abroad would be another such investment, worth thinking about. While you are thinking about paid adventures abroad, be sure also to watch for information on the gold standard of adventure abroad (and at other U.S. universities) -- the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates. These experiences bring together students from across the nation for focused inquiry and field and laboratory research with top professors in the field. Some are in foreign locations, such as the REU in Costa Rica in which our own Sarah Bleakney participated (and in which our own Dr. Robert Washington-Allen is a participating faculty member). REU experiences pay your expenses and generally offer a stipend. Keep them on your radar, but meanwhile check out the University of Georgia programs, too. Sincerely, Sally Horn Sally P.

In 2015 the University of Georgia is offering two field programs that yield 6 academic credits to students that are transferable to other institutions. The May-mester class is the field study of landforms program that I have offered in Costa Rica for the past several years, and the June-mester class is a newly created field geomorphology and anthropology program that links geomorphology with thousands of years of culture and land use in the high Pyrenees Mountains of southern France and northern Spain. Both of these programs result in 6 academic credits for two weeks of field learning experiences while traveling in a foreign country. The Landforms and Landscapes of Costa Rica program is from May 11-25: https://dar.uga.edu/costa_rica/index.php/site/program_detail/landforms_landscapes_in_costa_rica/students The Millennial Landscapes of the Pyrenees Mountains program is from June 6-21: http://anthropology.uga.edu/programs/study_abroad/ Both of these programs involve limited internet access following the travel abroad to complete the coursework. Please see the attached flyers to learn more about these fantastic opportunities and please contact me if you have any additional questions. Best, David Leigh -- David S.
