Aerospace Engineering BRAZIL 2019 SÃO P AULO - BRASÍLIA May 13 th 24 th, 2019 SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR: This proposal is strictly for the expressed use of University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and may not be shared with any other party unless previously authorized by Campus B.
PROGRAM INVOLVEMENT Our primary role is one of facilitator working alongside faculty and staff to realize the unique learning ambitions and program goals through logistics coordination. We help provide the visiting learner with an expanded view of Brazil through exposing visitors to experiential interactions with Brazilians and culturally immersive activities. Our aim is to immerse visitors, giving them the opportunity to better draw analyses and comparisons between Brazil and home. PROGRAM INSPIRATION We work alongside faculty and international education staff as a Brazilian resource to complement the scope of a proposed program. We use our years of expertise, along with our Brazilian network, to recommend programming details from interactions with community leaders to the modes of transportation and accommodation. We collaborate on programming in hopes our efforts can complement transformative learning experiences that dive-deeper into the dialogues of Brazil. PROGRAM SUPPORT Every program demands detailed coordination and logistic manpower, a reality often left to university staff or the faculty member. We believe these responsibilities to be unnecessary distractions for the faculty, often derailing the programs primary objectives. Therefore, Campus B assumes these responsibilities and embraces these details by dedicating our Brazilian staff to coordinating the programming logistics. Combined with our experienced Campus Coordinators, we are able to shoulder the programing logistics, allowing you (the faculty + university staff) to focus on the programs real objectives. This proposal is strictly for the expressed use of University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and may not be shared with any other party unless previously authorized by Campus B. Prices quoted in this proposal are valid for 45 days from November 22, 18
