Institutional goals    Curriculum goals       Faculty Engagement        Student Engagement

September 24-28, 2021
Dublin City and ISAI Campus, Donegal, Ireland
Forum Facilitators:
Stephanie Kelly Ph.D. - Executive Director CCID
Niamh Hamill Ph.D. - Director ISAI
John O’Connell - Director ISAI

Forum Objectives:
It is widely acknowledged that students who get the opportunity to travel abroad can
have transformative learning experiences. However, administrators and faculty are keen to
develop study abroad programs that are integrated with institutional goals such as inter-
disciplinary teaching, the development of critical and comparative thinking, and personal
development. Study trips that are included as a course component and are evaluated ac-
curately in terms of evidence of learning, and of value to the institution and leading faculty,
are now the goal.

A well-executed and planned short-term program as a component of a college or school
course requires engagement and expertise, from curriculum planning to the logistics of
travel, and demands the engagement of administrators, faculty, the study abroad pro-
viders, and the travelling student. For many students, programs are also required to be
affordable, accessible and appealing to a diverse student body.

The Institute of Study Abroad Ireland has successfully developed long-term partnerships
with many U.S. Schools and Colleges, and in association with CCID, we have created a
short professional development study trip in Ireland. Our seminars will discuss best prac-
tices for faculty-led programs. We focus on how providers and sending schools can work
together to provide programs that are accessible to a wide range of students, and that
deliver structured and focused academic learning outcomes compatible with the ethos
and goals of the college courses. Topics will include timelines for programming, ensuring
academic excellence, effective methods of collaboration between study abroad advi-
sors and faculty leaders, models for new initiatives and collaborative/consortia projects,
program promotion to students, and a successful integration of study abroad goals with
the overall goals of the sending institutions. Our seminars are conducted by experienced
study abroad professionals from the U.S. and expert providers in Ireland.
