Professors get grant for short-term study

Two Cornell College professors and one Colorado College professor have received a grant from the Associated Colleges of the Midwest Faculty and Career Enhancement program to study the effectiveness of short-term study abroad programs.

Carol Zerbe Enns (Psychology, Cornell College); Erin Davis (Sociology, Cornell College), and Joan E. Ericson (Japanese and Asian Studies, Colorado College) got a grant of up to $1,560 to develop a presentation titled “Transforming Study Abroad: Creation of Short-Term International Study Courses.”

With the support of a FaCE Grant, the three professors developed and taught a short-term international travel and study experience in Japan for their students. They will give a panel presentation about their project at the April 2011 AsianNETWORK conference in Oakbrook, IL.
