Off-Campus Study & Service Projects

Winter Term study projects, led by DePauw faculty members, offer an excellent opportunity for students to explore and experience another culture, learn in a new environment, develop a skill not readily available elsewhere, and deepen their awareness of the global community. Winter Term service projects (WTIS), led by students and faculty, seek to immerse students in the local community while working on projects in areas such as construction, public health, education, the environment, and technology.

During Winter Term 2009, a number of projects in a variety of disciplines and traveling to diverse regions will be offered.

Study and Service Projects for Winter Term 2009

IMPORTANT NOTE: Fall Applications for Winter Term Off-Campus Study and Service will be available for open projects at the start of Fall Semester.
