Faculty-Led Study Abroad Opportunities Roosevelt offers a variety of study abroad opportunities for students, one of which is the faculty-led international study program. A faculty-led international study program is a RU course in which a short-term (7-21 days) international study trip is planned as an integral part of the course requirements. Students must participate in the study trip and attend all class meetings before and after the trip. Taking part in this kind of programs can enhance what students learn in the classroom. It also builds more interpersonal relationships with faculty and classmates. Most importantly, it stimulates their long-lasting interest in other cultures, people and languages. During the spring 2009 semester, there are three faculty-led international programs taking RU faculty and students to the UK and China. Please encourage your students to contact Ms. Rubee Fuller, Director of International Programs, at rfuller@roosevelt.edu or 312-341-2128 to receive program and application information. Academic Resources for Students Final exams and the end of the semester are quickly approaching. If your student needs assistance with a paper, exam or project, refer him or her to these helpful resources: Academic Success Center (tutoring & writing assistance) Students should also stay in contact with their instructors and seek assistance during office hours.
