Students of the University of Wisconsin La Crosse can still
register for the 2014 London Study Tour. The Tour offers students a study
abroad opportunity to London and surrounding cities, completed in a single
week.
The trip takes place over Spring Break. Students will leave Friday, March 15, and
return on Saturday, March 23. This
chance to study abroad is offered through select courses in Archaeology,
Education, English, and Political Science.
A full list of the courses can be picked up at the College of Liberal
Studies office in room 235 of Morris Hall. A variety of activities is planned
for the trip, depending on the course taken.
Students are also provided free time to explore the area by themselves.
Students register for the trip through WINGS in the same process
as registering for a course. Students must enroll in the course offering the
trip and the trip itself. A $240 deposit
is due by noon on December 2.
The estimated total cost of the trip is $3,102. Financial aid can assist students with the
cost. The Office of International Education offers a scholarship opportunity as
another option.
The first meeting for the 2014 London Study Tour was held on
Monday, October 28. For those missing the meeting, contact Dean Ruthann Benson
at rbenson@uwlax.edu for more information.
There are two more meetings scheduled once students are enrolled
and have paid the deposit fee. The
meetings are Saturday, December 7 from 10:00-12:00 and Saturday, February 15 at
the same time. Both meetings take place
at Port O’Call, Cartwright Center. These meetings will provide more details on
the expenses of the trip, the scheduled activities, travel safety, packing
efficiently, and other concerns.
