Spring 2021 Travel Seminar

Info Session Schedule

OCSE, along with Skidmore faculty, are planning for seven short-term travel seminars to be offered in spring/summer 2021. Travel seminars are led by a Skidmore faculty member, or two, and for our Greece, China, Botswana, Finland and Cuba travel seminars, have a spring on-campus course before traveling in May/June. We encourage you to consider one of these options for next semester and join us for an info session next week to hear more about the programs and what we have planned in anticipation that spring 2021 travel will resume safely.
