Leaving Your Mark

4–6 March 2009

Provo, Utah

Welcome to the CIBER Short-Term Study Abroad (STSA) Conference 2009 web site. One of the fastest-growing study abroad formats, short-term programs are appealing to students but present unique challenges in curriculum, financing, and program management for administrators.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together faculty and staff who have dealt with these challenges at a variety of schools, to share their experiences and disseminate STSA ideas and best practices. Whether you are an experienced STSA practitioner or just contemplating the challenges of implementing a short-term program, we hope you will find the agenda compelling. We are confident that, through the formal presentations, panels, and informal interaction with experienced practitioners, you will leave with a better understanding of your role in directing, guiding, and facilitating short-term study abroad programs.

The 2009 STSA Conference will be held at the Marriott hotel in beautiful downtown Provo, Utah, located just minutes from Brigham Young University’s campus. Guests will be a short drive away from some of best ski slopes in America and within walking distance of fun local cuisine. We look forward to the opportunity to host you in Provo.
