Places are still open on the September 2007 inaugural voyage of the Scholar Ship, a semester-long academic program aboard a dedicated passenger ship that traverses the globe as an oceangoing campus. Students and staff from around the world together form a transnational learning community designed to develop their intercultural competencies and leadership skills. Up to 600 students will sail 9/5/07 from Piraeus, Greece, and wind up in Hong Kong on 12/23/07. The program emphasizes intercultural, experiential learning, including a Port Program where they will participate in a service project by volunteering with a local community group or organization and learning about local issues while fulfilling a stated need. It's all sponsored by an international consortium of universities, including UC Berkeley. There's lots more to read about this opportunity on the Web at: http://www.thescholarship.com.
