Summer SAO Faculty-Led programs are up!

Hello advisors,
I wanted to send a brief note that Summer 2015 Faculty-Led programs co-sponsored by the Study Abroad Office are now online and accepting applications: http://www.studyabroad.illinois.edu/illinois-programs.
I’ve included a flyer below and also attached.
These are 1-6 week programs over Summer (and Winter Break) that are a great fit for students who want automatic Illinois credit, a program that fits a busy schedule, and more support overseas. Illinois faculty and staff lead groups of 12-25 students to teach an Illinois course for Illinois credit abroad.
If you have any questions, I am the advisor for these programs and would be happy to assist!
Thank you for your partnership,
Adam
