UVA ADVANCE Summer Session III included the fifth UVA Advance program. UVA Advance is a four-week summer residential program for highly-motivated, rising high school juniors and seniors that offers participants an opportunity to experience college life at the University of Virginia. Students enrolled in two undergraduate courses – one core course specially designed for UVA Advance students and one elective course open to all Summer Session students. Students selected from the following four core classes:
COMM 2559: Business Communication taught by Janette Martin EVSC 2050: Introduction to Oceanography taught by Sciences Stephen Macko HIST 2559: Genocide taught by Jeffrey Rossman PLIR 2500: Human Rights in a World of States taught by Michael J. Smith
Students’ second courses were either “regular” 1000- or 2000-level Summer Session classes in which UVA Advance students were enrolled with resident (degree-seeking) UVA students or a three-credit undergraduate research option for students who sought research experience in a lab. In addition to classes, a series of one-hour workshops prepared participants for the challenges and opportunities that undergraduate students confront. The following workshops were required for all participants:
Introduction to Green Dot: UVA Bystander Intervention Program Conducting Academic Research: UVA Libraries Career Services: The Art of Choosing a Major Time Management and Academic Skills The Wider World: Education Abroad Mini College Fair with Admission Reps from UVA and JMU Time Management and Academic Skills
Students resided in a Shannon House with residential staff (six residential community advisors and one graduate program director) who led team-building exercises, on-Grounds recreational events, and excursions to unique sights around Charlottesville. Excursions included: Poplar Ridge Challenge Course
Peach Picking at Carter Mountain Orchard Monticello: Home of Thomas Jefferson Heritage Theater Festival: The Mountaintop Dinner in the Dome Room
CORE: Cultural Orientation, Reflection and Engagement facilitated a short course to deepen students’ experience on Grounds. Four meetings and several exercises developed participants’ observation, listening, and communication skills and encouraged reflection on cross-cultural learning during UVA Advance.
7
Applications & Admission UVA Advance received 143 completed applications. 67 students enrolled in the program: 42 from Virginia, 13 from China, and 12 from out-of-state. 44 females and 23 males participated. Every international student was assigned a roommate from the U.S. 20 applicants submitted applications for financial aid. Nine students received aid from UVA. UVA Advance awarded the equivalent of full in-state tuition and fees to six students. (The Tilney-Cristo Rey Scholarship covered remaining expenses for one out-of-state student from the Houston area.) A seventh student’s in-state tuition and fees were covered by a combination of funds from UVA Advance and the Office of Diversity and Equity. Two students received partial scholarships of $1,250 from UVA Advance.
“This program was the best expe-rience of my life. I am really go-ing to miss everyone.” “This is the best experience I’ve ever had. I’ve met so many people that I know I will always be able to talk to.” “Performance in my classes gave me confidence in my ability to succeed in college, as well as the ability to live in a dorm with oth-ers and maintain a healthy social life aside from my academic work.” “I am definitely more prepared for higher education after the UVA Advance Program. The workshops aiding this as well as the classes in general.”
ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOLS
Summer & Special Academic Programs is pleased to sponsor summer archaeological field schools at two of Virginia’s premier historic sites: Thomas Jefferson’s primary home and plantation at Monticello and Jefferson’s personal retreat and plantation at Poplar Forest. These field schools offer a unique opportunity for students to make a contribution to the research and interpretation of early American history. Eighteen students enrolled in these field schools earning six graduate credits.
MESDA SUMMER INSTITUTE
A partnership between the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts and Summer & Special Academic Programs enabled eleven visiting graduate students to explore history and material culture at the MESDA Summer Institute. The Institute this year focused on the Great Wagon Road stretching from Philadelphia through the Shenandoah Valley into North Carolina. A multidisciplinary approach included lectures and discussions as well as hands-on research with relevant artifacts.
MORVEN SUMMER INSTITUTE
Thirty-three students participated in the 2018 Morven Summer Institute. Held at the University of Virginia’s Morven Farm, the Institute allowed students to explore sustainability, design, food systems, and ecology through an interdisciplinary lens. The intensive, ten-day format of the MSI classes immerse students into their topics of focus.

The 2018 Summer Language Institute offered eight-week courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Tibetan. SLI students attended classes five days a week and up to seven and a half hours a day. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are developed in a student-centered environment. Participants earn 12 credits and cover the equivalent of two years of language study in the French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Tibetan programs. Students in these programs enter the SLI with no prior knowledge of the language and exit with intermediate-level proficiency, ready to take on the next challenge whether education or travel abroad, 3000-level college language courses, or graduate-level research. The Chinese and Arabic SLI programs yield eight credits in eight weeks and cover the equivalent of one year of college-level instruction. In addition to the eight credits of Modern Standard Arabic, the intermediate Arabic SLI includes an introduction to Levantine Colloquial (one additional credit).
In partnership with Trueland Consulting, Summer & Special Academic Programs hosted two concurrent American English language and culture programs for high-intermediate to low advanced learners of English from several universities in China. The seminar meetings were held on UVA Grounds in July. Excursions, lectures, and seminar sessions broadened participants’ understanding of the U.S. and increased their ability to communicate in North American English. Day trips to Washington, D.C. and the Blue Ridge Mountains, a visit to Monticello, daily meetings with conversation partners, and other activities complemented language study. Daily guest lectures introduced topics related to American studies. Discussion-based seminars with the program instructor fostered discussion about each day’s guest lecture topic and a variety of other subjects, including: American popular culture, American music, U.S. politics, and American Higher Education. Summer & Special Academic Programs provided guidance and administrative support to programs that hosted international visitors for summer research projects. The School of Engineering hosted students from Daegu Gyeonbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea, and NanoSTAR hosted international visitors through its summer research program.

JANUARY TERM
More than 800 students enrolled in domestic
January Term courses, and 378 students
participated in overseas programs. Just over
$400,000 in institutional aid was awarded by
SFS to high-need, low income students.
15 education abroad programs are scheduled for
January Term 2019 were completed by the
application deadline of October 1, 2017.
Enrollment for domestic January Term classes
begins Monday November 12, 2018.
CAELC
English as a Second Language (ESL) services at the
University are offered through the Center for
American English Language and Culture (CAELC).
CAELC is charged both to provide leadership on
issues related to ESL/intercultural communication
and to help members of the University of Virginia
community attain the level of linguistic and cultural
proficiency needed for success at a research university
in the United States. Nearly 400 English language
assessments were administered in 2017-18. During
the academic year, 75 course sections were offered
with head count surpassing 700. Once again, well
over 200 volunteer slots were filled in the VISAS
(Volunteers with International Students, Scholars,
and Staff) program. The summer 2018 English for
Academic Purposes program enrolled 27 students.
Three intensive language and culture contract
programs were delivered. CAELC also administers the
TESOL Certificate Program, a collaboration with the
Linguistics Program, and provides tutors trained to
work with non-native users of English in the Writing
Center.

UVA EDUCATION ABROAD
In the Open Doors 2017 report published by the Institute for International Education (IIE), UVA is
again listed among the top 25 universities in the U.S. for the number of students awarded credit for
education abroad. This is the third year that UVA has made the top 25, a list mostly populated by
much larger institutions. And once again, outbound student mobility broke all previous records with
over 3,100 students engaging in education abroad activities fall 2017 through summer 2018. One
hundred thirteen UVA faculty-led programs, 73 of which were administered by the ISO, were
available to students in 2017-18. One hundred eighty faculty along with 43 staff members
contributed to these programs. Other achievements include a 22% increase from 2016-17 in the
number of students studying abroad for a semester or academic year. Thirty-one percent of all
undergraduates who pursued education abroad received need-based financial aid in 2017-18. In the
spring semester the number was 45%. Summer remains the least accessible term with only 23% of
participants qualifying for need-based aid. Fifteen percent of undergraduate participants were Pell
eligible in 2017-18. Six percent of undergraduates abroad were first-generation students. A new
graduate architecture program in Barcelona, Spain was successfully launched and will be offered
again in 2018. The inaugural UVA Global First program in London (fall, 2017) surpassed the
expectations of University leaders, faculty, and students. Twenty-three incoming undergraduates will
begin their study in London in fall, 2018. UVA in Valencia celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2018
and enjoyed record enrollment. A comprehensive academic and operational review of the Valencia
program was completed in 2017-18, which included an extensive self-study and evaluation by a team
of external reviewers. The review is a first for a UVA Education Abroad program. A new academic
internship program was offered with East China Normal University in Shanghai and will serve as a
model for other sites in 2019. UVA is now one of a small number of institutions that offers a
comprehensive handbook for education abroad faculty and staff. Pre-Departure training for students
enrolled in outside programs will be delivered through new online modules developed by ISO staff in
2018. ISO staff continued to collaborate with colleagues across the University in 2017-18 to increase
awareness of education abroad opportunities, extend access to education abroad, increase the
number of majors that integrate education abroad in their program of study, and help students
leverage their education abroad experiences in their job search and plans to advance their education.
