Please do NOT make any financial commitments toward the program (such as purchasing airfare) until instructed by the program leader. Neither the John Martinson Honors College nor Purdue University will be liable for refunds should programs be canceled owing to mitigation measures taken due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Application Deadline

Students enrolled in Solutions Lab Global: Brazil & Peru (HONR 22200) during the Fall 2023 semester will be given first opportunity to participate in this program. Beginning in October 2023, those outside the class should contact the faculty program leader via email about open spaces, as there could be alternative paths to participating in this program (subject to availability). The first would involve interacting with students visiting Purdue from Brazil and Peru in November 2023 as part of the fall course, and a second path would involve completing some "make-up" cultural work as part of the pre-departure process in January/February.
