Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

This pre-arranged roundtable will focus on best practices, innovative ideas, and resources available to AAR/SBL members interested in taking students on short-or long-term faculty-led study abroad programs. Participants will spend five minutes speaking to a specific component of their teaching abroad experiences (planning an itinerary, tying learning objectives to site visits, successful assignments, challenges of framing a pilgrimage vs. secular travel, pros and cons of working with a provider company, fundraising, etc.) before breaking into small groups for discussion and consultation.
