Offered every other year since 2017, the four-week trip, which is sponsored by the Modern and Classical Languages department, is a biyearly program and was not offered in the summer of 2020.

A mix-up between the Student Financial Services office, the Registrar’s office, and Housing Services over the summer led to the miscalculation of many fall 2020 financial aid packages, making it difficult for some students to return to campus and pay fees on time. SFS reports costs and financial aid to students based on academic and housing data supplied by the Registrar’s Office, which documents students’ learning status, and Housing Services, which documents where students live.
