UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI

FACULTY- LED PROGRAMS

During summer terms students are able to take advantage of unique courses offered by University of Mississippi faculty abroad. These courses include language credits as well as University core require-ments like English and history. Departments select professors and courses to offer abroad each term.

Typically one professor and 10 students will travel together for 2 to 4 weeks as part of the course.

In past semesters students have studied watercolor in London, music in Ghana, health in Australia, and Spanish in Chile. There have also been English courses offered in

London and Venice, and business courses offered in South Africa and Costa Rica. All classes are based on an ABCDF scale and students can receive

3 to 6 hours of credit per program.

Advantages: You can take 3 hours of credit in 3 weeks or 6 hours in 4 weeks while visiting a new country. Because courses are offered during summer terms, you won’t miss any semester requirements - plus, spending time with a professor abroad may help you garner a good

recommendation for graduate school or a job.

Lloyds of London

Reflections: Management Information Systems in London by Dr. Tony Ammeter

That sums up perfectly what taking our class in London is like.

We tie together everyday occurrences like using your cell phone

or an ATM with the things that businesses do to provide these

services to you and to, hopefully, make a little money along

the way. When we study in London, we spend each day in the

city visiting businesses and markets or, for example, out on a

fieldtrip to Stonehenge to see one of the earliest examples of

organized technology use.

What We Do On a Typical Class Day

The objective of our class is to acquaint you with how compa-

nies use information technology to “do business.” We do this

by seeing first-hand an actual business in operation and then

looking “behind the scenes” at how operations involve the use

of some type of computer, information system, or technology.

As London is the premiere international financial capital of the

world, there are many, many organizations to visit.

On a typical day, a visit might include Lloyd’s of London and

the London Metals Exchange (LME) which are both within

three blocks of each other in the city. Last year we met

at the beautiful coffee shop in the heart of the old London

Stock Exchange and from there spent the better part of the

day at Lloyd’s and the LME. We stopped for lunch in the

Leadenhall Market - the location of the “Leaky Cauldron”

from Harry Potter’s first book and movie. Most days begin

at 9:00 or 9:30 in the morning and we end by 3:00 in the

afternoon.

Other places we visit include the world’s largest Apple

store, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and a

major FedEx courier station. We also take a lazy boat trip

down the Thames to the Royal Observatory Greenwich

– the place where, literally, ‘time starts.’ Along the way,

we visit numerous coffee shops, internet cafes, and the oc-

casional pub where the food is hearty and cheap, and the

local atmosphere is warm and friendly.

What You Can Do After Class in London

There is so much to do in London in your free time

that you will really need to put a list together of

what you must see and then get ready to make

some adjustments on the ground as the time

flies by. In addition to Buckingham Palace,

Harrod’s, and Kensington Palace

(Lady Diana’s former residence), etc.,

London is full of fashion shops and

every type of nightclub you can

imagine. Transportation via the Tube

(underground subway) is the most

convenient and economical way to get

around town. After midnight, cabs as well as

night buses are always available and you will always be

able to find some students to go out with. The people of

London are from all the corners of the world, and you will

experience many different cultures without ever leaving the

city. A day trip to one of the small towns (e.g., the “origi-

nal” Oxford) is a good way to experience British culture.

Come Prepared to Learn and to Live a Little

London is a fun town, so in addition to learning, come

prepared to spend some time with fellow students, faculty,

and Londoners. A lot of what you learn may be outside

of the scope of management information systems but will

definitely leave you with positive experiences that you will

carry with you throughout your life.

Watercolor in London by Professor Paula Temple

Day One: Acquaint Yourself with Your Landscape

Though you speak the language, time in London will prove to

you how difficult (but rewarding) it can be to navigate a new

environment. From rushing through the Tube to wandering

through Hyde Park, the best way to familiarize yourself with

your subject is to be immersed in the experience.

Day Two: Assess Your Materials

The traveling painter knows that anywhere can turn into an op-

portunity to create art. Keep your cameras at the ready to freeze

life in motion, or sit for hours and sketch or paint Londoners

passing by. Since “plein-aire” watercolor makes use of natural

light, portable materials — a small portfolio with sketchbook,

watercolor paper, tubes of watercolor paint, container for water,

and a few brushes — your tools are always at the ready.

Day Three, Four: Access Your Inner Talent

It’s easy to discover a new talent (or enhance an old one) when

you have access to a good teacher and an interesting classroom.

Live demonstrations give you access to strolling Londoners,

speeding delivery bikes, and rotating store displays.

Day Five: A Day at the Docks

One of the highlights of learning this technique is a visit to

St. Katherine’s Docks. This was part of the port of London dur-

ing its earliest times and is still a working marina. The historic

Thames sailing barges and light playing on water provides a

wonderful setting to build your skills.

Day Six, Seven: A Look at Your Work

After days of practice it’s time to crtiique your work and

review what others in the class are doing and don’t be

surprised if passers-by also put in their two cents. Since

they’ve been stopping to watch you paint all week it won’t

be awkward, but it could be very rewarding.

Day Eight, Nine: See How the Masters Do It

Now that you’ve got a little practice under your belt, it’s

time to see how you match up. A class visit to the Tate

Modern and Tate Britain Museum will take you on a jour-

ney through art’s great works.

Day Ten, Eleven: From Landscape to Cityscape

Now architecture takes its turn as you visit the Houses of

Parliament, Thames Embankment, London Bridge, Lon-

don Eye, Millennium Bridge, and the mass of movement

that is Trafalgar Square. Can your newly honed artist’s eye

compose an amazing piece from all the bustle?

Back Home: The Journey Continues

The trip over, you’ll finally have time to look over your en-

tire portfolio and see just how much you’ve accomplished. But

there’s still one more treat: the class show at Marimekko gal-

lery on the Square. It’s time to pick your best works and share

them with friends and Oxford’s finest at a small show of your

artistic adventure.

Day Twelve: Hello, Portobello Road

It doesn’t all have to be academic, or does it? The large

Satruday market gives you a chance to explore the historic

and ultra-modern in a long stretch of sights, sounds, and

smells. The journey caps with a dinner at The Portobello

Gold. Owner Mike Bell will give a chat while you enjoy

seafood platters the British way.

fter a few days of orientation in the city of Avignon,

we arrived by train at our culinary institute/bed and breakfast in

the heart of Arles. Our hosts bought up two three-story apart-

ments/houses and transformed them into four guestrooms, their

own living quarters, a huge kitchen, and a dining room with a

setting for 20 people. Every time I turn a corner I think I’ll fi nd

where the walls end and thus what the true dimensions of this

place really are, but that has yet to happen. The building’s old-

est wall dates from the 10th century! And we are yards away

from the Roman coliseum and steps away from Van Gogh’s

room where he painted his most famous works. Last night we

wandered around town before dinner and walked over to the

coliseum, through the old streets and large Renaissance plazas.

The sun was high and the Mistral (the provençal name for the

wind that comes down from the maritime Alps) was blowing

gently. We returned for dinner at around 8 pm. Our French host,

Eric, taught us how to prepare mullet fi sh in fi g leaves with

fennel, rice with shrimp, and asparagus soup. We had appetiz-

ers with him fi rst (including a tasting of various kinds of local

olive and anchovy tapenades and a white wine from Gasgogne)

and then we sat down to a four-hour meal with six courses! The

students marvelled at the time it took to prepare it all but also

to eat it as they usually eat in about a fraction of that time at

home. During the meal we spoke in French with soft-spoken

Eric answering our questions about everything from life and

French politics to American movies. Afterwards he showed us

how to make crepes and then had each student make a crepe in

the pan (fl ipping it in the air, etc.) and shared with us his Grand

Marnier and homemade preserves.

The next day we woke up and had an amazing breakfast

with homemade granola, yogurt from the man down the

street, bread that Madeleine (Eric’s wife) had made, and

coffee. Then we took off with Madeleine in their minibus

and explored the Roman ruins in the area (including a ro-

man aquaduct and the castle which was the stage set for

“Lion in Winter”) until we fi nally arrived at the Olive Oil

maker’s orchard and home. We learned what the entire pro-

duction of olive oil entails from picking the olives to the

time it is bottled. It’s too involved to describe here, but

believe me, it is a science, and he had all this shiny, slick

machinery from Italy in his factory that does it all. We had

a chance to taste it and learn the myths of marketing (for

instance, all olive oil is “extra virgin”). We bought some

of last year’s press and some delicious sun-dried tomato

tapenade from him as well as all manner of fi ne olive oil

products.

Next we went another 20 km to visit the beekeeper,

Sophie, (an “apicultrice”) who lives in a small glass house

far away from civilization among her bees. She made us a

fantastic lunch in which every dish contained something

honey-infused. First, she served two kinds of salad with

honey dressings (a kind of cole slaw and a green lettuce,

tomato, and feta cheese salad), then we had a chicken dish

with honey, tarragon, curry, and a vegetable dish with po-

tatoes and zucchini. It must be said that the honey in the

U.S. is by and large “clover” honey, but Sophie has several

Aperçu: Arles, Franceby Dr. Anne Quinney

different kinds of honey based on the kind of plants that

the bees are pollinating, processing, and so on — so we

tried chestnut honey, anis honey, rosemary honey, laven-

der honey, etc., which she used to add fl avor depending on

the dish. We had fresh strawberries in honey with fromage

blanc, and lavender honey drizzled on top for dessert after

a gorgeous cheese course. We stayed for about three hours

and talked to her over lunch about her life with bees and

about how she came to abandon her life in Paris to live in

nature and make honey. She sells her honey at the market

in Arles twice a week, but some years she doesn’t make

any money at all because she’s dependent on her bees, the

weather, and all kinds of factors that affect the production.

She refuses to use pesticides and claims that Round-Up is

what has been killing all the bees recently in some areas.

The students were just amazed, and I don’t know that they

have ever had such a sweet honey-fi lled meal like that be-

fore (come to think of it, neither have I), nor have they met

such a radical farmer with ideas about living simply that

appealed to them. Mark mentioned wanting to become a

beekeeper (once he fi nishes his Business Administration

degree at UM, that is). Needless to say the whole afternoon

was conducted in French since Sophie doesn’t really speak

English (as far as we know).

We returned for a siesta before class time. The

lovely weather and our generous hosts made this a fantas-

tic experience for us.

South Africa:Thinking Back, Looking Forward By Dr. Debby Chessin

art of the joy of experiencing the wonders of a new

place is sharing it with others – in my case, with other students

and teachers in the summer of 2007 in Port Elizabeth, South

Africa. We connected with the wonderfully friendly and support-

ive faculty, staff, and students of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan

University (NMMU) and shared 3 intense weeks of classes, ex-

ploration, and living as South Africans in the “Friendly City”

of the “Rainbow Nation.” As I think back and read over my

journals to revive the memories, I fi nd myself looking forward

to reconnecting with my South African friends and extending

the understandings and impressions gained that summer. I hope

you will join me in 2008 for a Study Abroad trip that will stay

with you forever as my memories will be with me.

In the fi eld of education, we strive to learn about, better

appreciate, and meet the needs of diverse groups of people

in the classroom. An effective way to meet this broad goal

is to get to know individuals and their specifi c cultures and

understand the interrelationship between their history and

current culture, what they believe and why, who they ad-

mire, and the infi nite ways they go about their everyday

lives.

In South Africa, our experiences far surpassed our

expectations even though we prepared, read articles, and

visited many informative websites. It’s true when they say,

“You had to be there!” On the NMMU campus,

we were greeted by Zulu drummers and singers and many

cute little monkeys that roam wild on campus — adorable

but they will steal food right out of your hand! After ori-

entation, we took a cultural tour of Port Elizabeth and the

surrounding area to learn how the history of the region

infl uenced people’s lives today. The rich ethnographic

history of South Africa and the remarkable diversity of

people today is refl ected in the fact that there are 11 of-

fi cial languages. The “townships” are a remnant of Apart-

heid society where Blacks were housed in nothing more

than ramshackle dwellings and shipping containers. In a

tribute to the Township Riots of 1985, we visited the Red

p

Museum which provided a tribute and elegant reminder of

the people and their struggle.

From there, we toasted with a group of locals at

Kwe Kwe’s “Shabeen” (bar), shared packages of “crisps”

(chips), insights on their history and its effect on business

and industry, and the residual affects on their everyday

lives. On the way back to our apartment, small groups of

children ran alongside the van, and we shared the common

language of “thumbs up” and big smiles!

Visits to local schools, arranged by the faculty and

staff of NMMU, provided a rewarding and exciting focus

during the next few weeks. We discovered that the faculty,

staff, and students

were just as excited to

meet and learn more

about us as Ameri-

cans! Setting out with

a map and directions,

driving in South Afri-

ca proved to be a little

challenging - driving

on the “wrong” side

of the road with the

steering wheel on the

“wrong” side of the

car was one obstacle.

We learned quickly

that a “bakkie” is a

pickup truck, a “boot”

is the trunk of the car,

“petrol” is gas, a “robot” is a traffi c light, and a “koppie”

means a rocky hill!

The fi rst school visit was to a public, Christian,

“ex-Model C” school that housed grades 1-7. “Model C”

schools were private schools for whites in South Africa

during Apartheid, which ended in 1994. Most of the stu-

dents there today were black, Indian, or coloured (a term

for mixed race but not considered derogatory in South

Africa) and most of the teachers were White — a situa-

tion which led to some thought-provoking discussion. As a

school in transitional culture, there still seemed to be plenty of

room and desire for making more positive connections among

people.

Several teachers were absent so we optimistically and

enthusiastically agreed to each take our own class for a day.

Lessons were sidelined by a lively cultural exchange which

included a funny, revealing question and answer period, a

dance contest, and a folk-tale telling session. In this school

English was primarily spoken, yet all the students were fl uent

in at least Khosa, Afrikaans, or Zulu. We invited them to write

and illustrate letters to an imaginary friend in America describ-

ing themselves, their families, and what they enjoy doing after

school while we treated

them with a pizza party,

and chocolate cookies

we baked the night be-

fore and distributed much

needed books, paper, and

crayons from home.

Next we went to a

local “coloured” school

where the students and

faculty alike were almost

all “coloured.” Here, the

students were supposed

to be taught in English

but many were more fl u-

ent in Afrikaans, Khosa,

or Zulu and thus given

special accommodations.

We enjoyed reading with small groups of children and helping

them on the computers that were donated by local businesses

and industries. The teachers brought a fantastic potluck lunch

— which included unusual and delicious native recipes — and

we enjoyed talking with them about their educational views and

their lives since Apartheid. The buildings and grounds were

less than modern and needed some major repairs and improve-

ments, but the warmth and high level of quality educational

practices within the classroom walls were the most obvious fea-

ture of this school.

The third and last public school we visited was in the

township that served the most poor, rural population in this area,

and we were required to have a driver who knew the area well

to escort us to and from the school. We were told that it was not

so much an issue of danger, but that the roads were difficult to

travel and directions were confusing. To our utter surprise, the

children spoke only Xhosa! This language has no resemblance

to English and the numerous clicks made it almost impossible

for us to successfully repeat words in our eagerness to learn

their language. We communicated through facial expressions,

acting things out, and

drawing — and the chil-

dren were delightful and

very friendly. It was dif-

ficult to see the rundown

condition of their school

and to see them cleaning

out their own dilapidated

bathroom barefoot.

On the weekends,

we had several wonderful

opportunities to observe

the South African wildlife

in their natural environ-

ment— we were amazed

at how close we could get

to large herds of huge el-

ephants — one baby got

too close to the jeep in her

zeal to find a nice prickly

bush to eat and actually trumpeted at us in a warning that was

more sweet than scary! The giraffes seemed to float above the

trees and were just beautiful with their giant liquid eyes and

huge curly eyelashes. Zebras at the waterhole blended into one

another in an abundance of stripes, legs, and head at various

angles. We actually “hunted” for the lions at night and found a

resting family with disarmingly calm expressions — occasion-

ally, the male and female would play a little wrestling game.

A whale watching trip was an amazing experience

where one lively specimen was apparently putting on a

show for us flapping her tail, swimming around the boat,

then ending her display in a big noisy breach with flippers

waving goodbye! The whales were kept company by South

African penguins and a small group of whiskered, playful

seals.

Can you envision yourself studying in South Af-

rica this summer? Did I mention our apartment building

was right on the beach and only a short side-trip from Cape

Town and the beauti-

ful Garden Route or

Jeffries Bay — home

to the international

surfing championships

while we were in town.

It’s a 10-minute walk

from our apartments

to the Internet café and

small shopping mall, a

huge variety of restau-

rants and entertaining

nightspots, open-air

African craft markets

and native dance per-

formances on the

boardwalk. Are you

ready to try some bil-

tong, babotie, boere-

wors, or bredie, or a

braii? Treat yourself to a four-course meal with dessert in

a great restaurant overlooking the Indian Ocean and you

probably won’t spend over $15.00! Just remember the

Zulu word for “hello” is “sawubona” and “goodbye” is

“sala kahle” and you’ll fit right in. Let’s face it, location

is everything — South Africa is simply a fantastic place to

learn and relax and I look forward to taking you there with

me this summer!

It’s easy to get on your way

how to apply

What’s the REAL first step to studying abroad?

getting a passport

Between the increase in U.S. citizens traveling abroad, an increased number of students studying abroad, and changes in passport regulations, there has been a spike in passport requests in the past year.

• Any trip outside the borders of the United States requires a passport even if you’re just going to Canada or Mexico.

• If you plan to go abroad during your tenure at Ole Miss, there’s no time like the present to start your passport application.

• If you’re considering a Summer 2008 program then you should apply for your passport today. Even if you decide later not to go, having your passport will still be a valuable asset.

Having a passport literally opens the world to you.

GO BEYOND THE GROVE!

This spike has caused the turnaround time for processing a passport to leap from 8-10 weeks to 3-4 months! Even an expedited passport, which in the past could be processed and in your hand in less than 2 weeks, is taking up to a month to complete.

Because of this, many students considering study abroad may have difficulty receiving a passport in time to get abroad during the coming summer and fall sessions.

So, what does this mean to you?

Office of Financial Aid A visit to 257 Martindale should be your first step in funding your Study Abroad experience. The advisors in Financial Aid will be able to look at your current aid package and determine whether any of those funds can be applied toward your term abroad. In most cases, semester aid from the University of Mississippi can be used on a semester UM Study Abroad Program. There are also avenues to use aid for Summer and Winter sessions.

University of Mississippi Study Abroad Office ScholarshipThe Study Abroad Office offers a need- and merit-based scholarship to all students who apply for a UM-sponsored Study Abroad program. You must have a FAFSA on file, but otherwise there are no eligibility requirements. Awards range from $250 if you show a minimum amount of need, up to the full program cost; and the application deadline is March 19. To apply, check the Scholarships and Aid link at www.olemiss.edu/abroad or pick up an application in 359 Martindale.

The cost of Study Abroad shouldn’t keep you from the experience.

paying for programs

There are many ways to fund your experience abroad through scholarships, grants, and loans. Listed below are just a few:

Northwest Airlines World Travel Scholarship Northwest Airlines has partnered with The University of Mississippi to provide airfare scholarships to our Study Abroad students. Six round-trip tickets to KLM/Northwest international destinations are offered each academic year. Awards are based on financial need and academic merit and the application deadline is March 19. To apply, check the Scholarships & Aid link at www.olemiss.edu/abroad.

National Study Abroad Awards The federal government, as well as many non-govern-ment organizations, recognize the benefits of Study Abroad and provide funding opportunities to students who demonstrate academic merit and financial need. To see a list of some of these programs check the Scholarships & Aid link at www.olemiss.edu/abroad.

Loan and Grant ProgramsThe Office of Financial Aid can also help you find some alternative loan and grant programs that are available specifically to students planning a Study Abroad experience. Check with the Financial Aid Office for more information.

Remember that the added value of Study Abroad

on your resume as you head into the job market or on to graduate school will far outweigh

any cost you assume right now. Consider the long-range cost of not

studying abroad.

We are currently taking applications for students who are looking for a unique and personal semester experience. Spending four to six months enrolled at a university abroad can provide you with exciting memories and interesting learning experiences.

Look for our AY 2007-08 Study Abroad Catalogon Study Abroad racks around campus and find your new home for Fall 2008 or all of the 2008-09 school year.

And a semester abroad isn’t just for language learning. We’ve got semester opportunities throughout Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim where you can take courses in English even if the host language is not.

So why not start thinking about a semester abroad?

Studying abroad isn’t just for summer fun. Consider a Semester Abroad

• The University of Mississippi Study Abroad Office is here to help you along the process from the time you first consider a semester abroad, through your stay and return, to your graduation day.

Can we tell you more? Visit www.olemiss.edu/abroad or 359 Martindale

Don’t say we didn’t tell you . . .

2007-2008 Study Abroad Photo Contest

Any student who studies abroad between August 2007 and August 2008 is eligible to participate. Entries are limited to 5 photos per student so pick your best shots!

We’re looking for photos of students doing something abroad, people you met while traveling, amazing views you saw, or anything else you found photo worthy. Entries will be displayed in the Study Abroad Offi ce and winning photos will be announced at the Study Abroad Open House and posted on the Study Abroad Web Site.

There are 5 prizes open to all participants: Grand prize: $150 First place: $125 • Second place: $100 • Third place: $75 • Honorable mention: $50.

There are also 2 special categories. These categories are open entries, meaning you can submit as many photos as you’d like on top of the 5 you can submit in the general contest. Read on to see which category applies to you.

SPECIAL CATEGORY FOR WINTER & SUMMER STUDENTS: Your Professor Prize: $100While it’s fun to be in a new place, at least half of your good times probably come with your professor in tow. We need to catch these camera-shy folks in action. Snap pictures when they’re giving you a tour, catch them relaxing on the beach, get them in action discussing directions with the locals or hanging out with the group. We want to see theprofessors you do: up close and personal. As long as it doesn’t interfere with class, snap away.

SPECIAL CATEGORY FOR SEMESTER STUDENTS: Your Family Abroad Prize: $100When you’re away from home for a long period of time, sometimes you really miss your family. After a while you settle into a routine and make some contacts and by the end of the semester you’ve found a surrogate family. It may be your host family, it may be a group of international friends. It could be your on-site advisors, or it might be the folks at your local market. We want photos of whoever shared your joys and pains as you navigated a semester in a new country.

Entries for all categories can be submitted by e-mail to [email protected]

or in hard copy at the Study Abroad Office,

359 Martindale.

Each entry should include your name and the program on which you studied. Please also write a brief (1-2 sentences) description

of who and/or what is in the picture and why you chose it. If they’re for one of the special

categories, please also note that with your submission.

Disclaimer: All photos (both winners and non-winners) will become the property of the

Study Abroad Office and will not be returned. Entry into the contest will be deemed consent for use of entries in various marketing activities, publications, and/or on the Web for the purpose of promoting study abroad at The University of Mississippi. Entrants are required to grant to the University the royalty-free

right to reproduce and use negatives and prints of submitted entries in University- related publications and promotions. This means all photos, not just winning entries, will be eligible for inclusion in
