Application Deadline

Students enrolled in Solutions Lab Global: Brazil & Peru (HONR 22200) during the Fall 2024 semester receive first opportunity to participate in this program, followed by those who help host visiting students from Brazil and Peru in November 2024. After this, priority goes to JMHC students who are interested in completing a couple of "make-up" cultural activities as part of the pre-departure process in January/February. [UPDATE: As of the start of the spring semester, we look to have one open space in the program, so please contact Dr. Swanson as soon as possible with your interest.]
