Summer Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain, with Dr. Sharonah Fredrick, from UB’s Romance Languages and Literatures (RLL) Department
Dr. Sharonah Fredrick, RLL’s Clinical Assistant Professor of Spanish & Portuguese Language and Latin American Culture, whom you all saw in the Life Raft Panel, will direct a UB summer study abroad program in Spain and offer a course on the multi-religious roots of Salamanca’s Spanish literature in the 15th-17th centuries. For more information, please see: http://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/romance-languages-literatures/study-abroad/study-abroad-with-rll.html If you are interested in the possibility of some financial aid, please be in touch with Dr. Sharonah Fredrick directly: sharonah@buffalo.edu Or, call her (and please leave a message) at: 716-645-1735. This summer, RLL will run its internationally recognized, 6 credit Salamanca summer program with a combination of academic and recreational activities designed to enrich and interest the student of Spanish language/literature and the many facets of Hispanic culture. We will emphasize Salamanca’s multi-cultural and multi-religious roots of this historical city, including Roma (Gypsy), Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Portuguese intellectual contributions; and we will study the special role played by Salamanca’s intellectuals in defense of the rights of the indigenous peoples of Latin America and Africa, during the centuries of Conquest. The university offers an excellent array of tourist and sports-friendly activities as well as cultural excursions. Sharonah’s course is three credits and will count as an upper-division (300 or 400 level) language requirement; the other language study course, ranging from Beginner’s through Highly Advanced Spanish, counts as part of any UB language requirement. There are no problems transferring these credits because these are UB credits earned abroad, not credits from the University of Salamanca, although that is where the courses will be taught. Deadline for applications is March 25th.”

In the exciting world of high-impact experiential learning, relationships are everything. UB faculty and staff have amazing partnerships with institutions and regions all over the world. By building on these partnerships we can engage faculty, students and community members in ways that will result in deep and lasting impacts. The GPS Institute represents an innovative vehicle for traveling farther and deeper with our international partners.
We have designed the Institute to transform existing global partnerships into catalysts for new high-impact experiential learning. As a result of the Institute, we will have a portfolio of evolving courses, projects, and engagement opportunities. Since faculty are essential to student learning, we hope to engage UB faculty from diverse disciplines and areas of study to explore synergies toward curricular innovation. And since experiential learning can be a driver for community impacts, we are committed to supporting our partners in their own professional development and capacity building during their time at UB.
ELN is transporting Global partners to UB for a week of high impact sharing, collaboration and capacity building. This year’s inaugural institute, taking place October 1 through October 5, will focus on catalyzing collaboration around health, social innovation & STEM education with partners from Ghana, Jamaica, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
This open session will feature partner presentations that provide context and a framework for engagement and collaboration throughout the Institute and beyond. Audience Q&A is encouraged.
Learn about our honored guests and explore their backgrounds, affiliations and areas of focus at the opening reception immediately following the partner presentations.
Learn more about GPS platforms and resources for igniting global partnerships, deepening collaborative relationships, sharing innovations with broader communities and more.
Identify and meet with partners of interest to discuss ideas for engagement and collaboration.
Submit your idea for collaboration to receive follow-up support offered by ELN staff and partnership sponsors.
Join us for a celebration of the emerging ideas for engagement and collaboration and help us wish our global partners farewell.
