Faculty Resources

Travel Seminars

Several Skidmore faculty members have successfully led travel seminars abroad. Travel seminars are short trips—9 days to 3 weeks—for students led by one or two Skidmore instructors. OCSE works with the faculty to guide and support you through the various phases of preparation and implementation. You will work with OCSE at all stages to ensure careful collaboration and coordination. 

Once on-site, faculty directors are expected to take on a variety of roles that are outside the typical on-campus responsibilities. Fear not – this is a collaborative effort. OCSE will assist you at all stages of the process.
