• Norway

  • Ice Core Research (Tromsø) - Graduate Student Research

• Peru

  • Service Learning (Cusco, Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo, Maras) - ADMG 412

  The Peru Service Learning Program offers students the chance to integrate academic study, intercultural exchange, and community engagement in one of the world’s most culturally and historically significant regions. Through faculty-led seminars, guided excursions, and hands-on service-learning projects, students develop both theoretical insight and practical experience.

  The program emphasizes cultural understanding, sustainability, and leadership. Students engage directly with Peruvian communities in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and surrounding rural areas. All activities align with the ITM 412 curriculum and support CWU’s Student Learning Outcomes.

  A key focus is sustainability in action. Students learn about global environmental issues while contributing to community-based projects, such as installing solar panels, maintaining water systems, and supporting rural educational technology initiatives. These experiences build real-world skills in sustainable development and deepen intercultural awareness.
