Winter Break Immersion Award

Generous donations from faculty and staff of the School of Education and Human Services have made it possible to offer Study Abroad Awards for OU students interested in gaining a global perspective through school sponsored international study abroad trips.

The purpose and goal of this award is to support OU students wanting to join the Winter Break Immersion Program led by Linda Tyson, instructor in the department of Teacher Development and Educational Studies. The Winter Break Immersion Program is a one week long trip abroad during Oakland University's winter break for OU students to experience the culture and life in foreign countries. For more information about this study abroad program, e-mail Linda Tyson.
