| Taiwan Summer Study Tour 2024 | |
|
Join us in vibrant Taiwan to gain critical language skills and increase your global awareness by applying for this fully funded program.
The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center has partnered with Shih Chien University in Taipei, Taiwan to expand Chinese language and cultural immersion opportunities for students from UM. Taiwan is an island with a distinct identity, robust democracy, and dynamic economy that Americans need to better understand. The Taiwan Summer Study Tour offers a unique and generous opportunity to close the knowledge gap about Taiwan by inviting University of Montana students to spend two weeks in Taipei studying Mandarin language and deepening their knowledge of Taiwanese culture.
With a blend of class time and cultural excursions throughout the island, this short-term educational program is designed to expose a new generation of students to Mandarin language (which can unlock diverse job opportunities), as well as its unique history and culture. This program can kickstart academic growth while providing the chance for students to bolster respect for and cooperation with people from different backgrounds. The study tour is fully funded by the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center, in partnership with Shih Chien University. This means that round trip flights, lodging, transportation, language and cultural courses, cultural tours, and meals are covered. Please note that the study tour is not a UM course offering.
Program Dates: May 15-May 29, 2024
Participant Selection Criteria:
- U.S. citizen
- University of Montana student
- Interest in learning Mandarin language
- Interest in East Asian history and culture
- Ability to enthusiastically engage with fellow program participants and overseas university students and staff
- Flexibility, adaptability, and open-mindedness
- Interest in international affairs and cultural exchange
- Strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills
- Ability to articulate how Taiwan Summer Study Tour learnings will align with future study or work
- Demonstrated understanding of cultural sensitivity and cross-cultural competence
Application Deadline: Thursday, March 28, 2024 11:59 p.m.

Internships and Opportunities at Soft Landing Missoula... | |
From Co-Lab for Civic Imagination... | |
|
On March 27, 2024, in conjunction with a Presidential Lecture visit from noted democracy scholar Danielle Allen, UM’s Co-Lab for Civic Imagination and its Director, Professor Michael Rohd, will co-host a campus-wide summit on democracy and democracy education. The day will feature student-led activities, faculty voices, creative approaches to participatory dialogues, and performance/art.
Three questions will guide our activities and conversations across the day’s events:
- What does UM do in the classroom and beyond to prepare students to be active participants in a democratic society?
- What do UM students want from the University when it comes to democracy education?
- What can we imagine together- UM students, faculty, and staff- that can build and sustain institutions and communities rooted in healthy democratic practices?
Please reach out to Michael.rohd@umt.edu for more info and with any questions.
