The call for travel seminar proposals for J-Term 2027 is now open. If you are considering proposing a travel seminar, your first step is to set up a meeting with Chelsea Funk to discuss your ideas.

Important Update: This year, Travel Seminar resources are available on our new Global Affairs internal site! The internal site replaces our previous PDF and has information on:

• Proposal submission guidelines (please read before submitting the Qualtrics)
• Program development
• Faculty eligibility and compensation details
• Additional resources will be published in the coming months for future stages of the Travel Seminar lifecycle, as well as other opportunities such as Faculty-in-Residence, etc.
• Note: These pages are currently only accessible using the link above – NOT from the Drake Internal Pages site. Please reach out to me if you have any trouble accessing the pages.

Dates & Deadlines:

• Submission: Sunday, November 16, 2025 (11:59pm)
• Department & Dean Approvals: Thursday, November 20, 2025
