Good Morning:

A note of reminder:


I would like to take this opportunity again to share with you information
regarding a teaching opportunity available through UTC's membership in the
Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA), a higher education consortium
of 22 colleges and universities headquartered at Northern Kentucky
University.  CCSA develops, plans, and coordinates regularly scheduled
study abroad programs in Australia, Barbados, Belize, England, Ghana,
Ireland, Kenya, and Scotland.  In addition, we entertain proposals for
offerings in Hong Kong, South Africa, and Vancouver, as well as other study
abroad, alumni, or community programs in English-speaking regions.  CCSA
offers courses in a very wide variety of academic disciplines; from
traditional liberal arts courses in history, literature, and art to
agriculture, business, the sciences, health care, and education.  CCSA
classes are taught by faculty from UTC and other consortium-member
universities.  Students can receive higher education credit (undergraduate,
graduate, and professional in-service) for successfully completing the CCSA
program in which they are enrolled.

Since joining the consortium in 1992, several UTC faculty and students have
participated in CCSA programs.  This past summer, for example, Ms. Dana
Moody, Human Ecology faculty member, taught a history of interior design
course in the London Summer program.  Summer 2001, Mr. Ron Buffington, Art
department faculty member, taught a modern painting class in London, and
Dr. Verbie Prevost taught a course in the Irish Short Story in
Ireland.  Other UTC faculty who have taught CCSA courses include Dr.
Marilyn Helms, Dr. Anne Bailey, and Professor Steve LeWinter.  Mr. David
Young, Assistant professor of art, just returned from a London Winter term
where he taught silverpoint drawing to several of our students and students
from other consortium colleges and universities.

Deadline for Proposals

The CCSA Board of Trustees is now accepting proposals from faculty for
courses to be taught during the summer of the year 2004.  Appropriate
courses in all disciplines are welcome.  The deadline for submission  of
course proposals to my office at UTC for the summer 2004 programs is
February 17 , 2003.  Faculty will be notified of CCSA's decision in mid- to
late March.

Course Requirements

For programs of two- and three-week duration, the typical course plan
includes pre-trip readings, on-site journaling, and post-trip
projects/papers.  The classes are essentially conducted as the field trip
portion of courses for which travel to the respective countries can
constitute a critical academic element.

Proposal Form

I encourage you to visit the CCSA website at
<http://www.ccsa.cc/>http://www.ccsa.cc.  For your convenience, the course
proposal form is available in Microsoft Word, Rich Text, and Adobe Acrobat
formats in the Faculty Info section of the CCSA website.

Please feel free to contact me for additional information or to obtain a
course proposal form (printed copy or via email as an attachment).I look
forward to hearing from you.

Hugh Prevost
