So last month I got hired as the Assistant Academic Director for a U.S. based study abroad program traveling to Durban South Africa to study the World Cup and South Africa. The organization that is running the program focuses on international education of primarily US college students through field based experiential learning. I am working with the Durban staff to help run and coordinate all aspects of the program including the academic side of the program through advising the students on their research, the logistics of planning or organizing the days, and some of the student affair issues such as check-ins and being available as needed.
Here is my tentative schedule:
June 1: arrive in Durban
June 4-7: Orientation with students in Johannesburg
June 7-9: Orientation in Durban
June 10: Opening Kickoff Concert (watching at a viewing park-not attending)
June 11: Opening Ceremony and Match: South Africa v. Mexico (watching at a viewing park-not attending)
June 12: USA v. England (watching at a viewing park-not attending)
June 18: USA v. Slovenia game in Jo'burg (attending game)
June 27: Round 16: 1D v 2C in Bloemfontein
July 3-July 10: Rural Practicum (in a rural community outside Durban)
July 17: Students depart
July 23: Depart back home
More info to come (including pictures!)
