On behalf of the Department of Astronomy, I am writing to ask you to advertise this new and unique opportunity to all of your students. Thank you so much for your help.
We are thrilled to announce a new study abroad program: Voyaging into Pacific Indigenous Astrophysics in Hawai`i. 
This 5-credit course (ASTR 190/597) offers both undergraduate and graduate students an immersive experience exploring how Pacific Islanders have navigated vast oceanic distances using traditional knowledge of the stars, winds, waves, and marine life. 

We are a serious-minded study abroad program whose chief mission is to see undergraduate research being published in refereed journals. We have already published two such papers and a third has been accepted. Our focus this summer is on sustainability in the Eastern Mediterranean. We believe our program is an important part of internationalizing students’ education.

Study Abroad 101 Info Session

FSH 207
Register for the session at: https://forms.gle/73zcDy6mf3LuSJSt8
The Marine and Freshwater Science majors (Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, Marine Biology and Oceanography) will be hosting representatives of the UW Study Abroad office for a 50 minute presentation on how to make study abroad a part of your college experience. This covers everything from program types to timelines to credits to funding & scholarships. 

Hundreds of thousands of US students take part in study abroad programs each year, earning credits towards their degrees while immersing themselves in different cultures around the globe. For Isabella Robinson, a third year student majoring in Marine Biology and French with a QSCI minor, a study abroad program took her to a much warmer and saltier sea than the Puget Sound which neighbors the University of Washington…The Mediterranean Sea.

IRES Costa Rica Program Application
NSF-IRES Costa Rica program
This National Science Foundation-funded program takes place in Santa Elena Bay, located on the northwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica. A unique oceanographic feature of this region is the seasonal upwelling also known as the “Papagayo Upwelling” which brings deep cold and nutrient-rich water to the surface during the trade wind season, driving high productivity and biodiversity in the area. 

Apply to spend 2 weeks in Costa Rica working with experts in sea turtle research and conservation next summer through this UC Santa Barbara program!

Join Wildland Studies for a two-week 5-credit summer program that would have you conducting research, collecting data, and gaining first-hand experience in Big Sur, Yellowstone, Hawaii, Alaska, or Bulgaria!

Applications have re-opened for the Corbett Exchange Program!
