This summer, I am running the Wales and Cornwall: Critical Copper Connections study abroad program. Partially subsidized by the Gilman Program, the goal of the program is to dive into the life-cycle of mining and provide some alternative career pathways for students interested in the critical mineral industry while learning about the culture, heritage, and environmental policies of Wales and Cornwall.
I designed this program with EE in mind, and students can earn up to 10 credits (3 minimum):
- SS 4551 – Industrial Communities (Essential Education Experience)
- SS 4710 – Geographies of Migrant Communities (Intercultural Competency)
- SS 4600 – Industrial and Historical Archaeology (Arts and Culture)
- PE 0175 – Hiking (Activities for Well-being and Success)
The program runs across the 7 weeks of Summer A with 3 weeks of travel.
I have an info session coming up, November 11th at 5pm in AOB 209, but I also love hearing from interested students and meeting one-on-one.
Thank you for your help in spreading the word,
Mark & Kat
