UVA ADVANCE Summer Session III included the fifth UVA Advance program. UVA Advance is a four-week summer residential program for highly-motivated, rising high school juniors and seniors that offers participants an opportunity to experience college life at the University of Virginia. Students enrolled in two undergraduate courses – one core course specially designed for UVA Advance students and one elective course open to all Summer Session students. Students selected from the following four core classes:

COMM 2559: Business Communication taught by Janette Martin EVSC 2050: Introduction to Oceanography taught by Sciences Stephen Macko HIST 2559: Genocide taught by Jeffrey Rossman PLIR 2500: Human Rights in a World of States taught by Michael J. Smith

Students’ second courses were either “regular” 1000- or 2000-level Summer Session classes in which UVA Advance students were enrolled with resident (degree-seeking) UVA students or a three-credit undergraduate research option for students who sought research experience in a lab. In addition to classes, a series of one-hour workshops prepared participants for the challenges and opportunities that undergraduate students confront. The following workshops were required for all participants:

Introduction to Green Dot: UVA Bystander Intervention Program Conducting Academic Research: UVA Libraries Career Services: The Art of Choosing a Major Time Management and Academic Skills The Wider World: Education Abroad Mini College Fair with Admission Reps from UVA and JMU Time Management and Academic Skills

Students resided in a Shannon House with residential staff (six residential community advisors and one graduate program director) who led team-building exercises, on-Grounds recreational events, and excursions to unique sights around Charlottesville. Excursions included: Poplar Ridge Challenge Course

Peach Picking at Carter Mountain Orchard Monticello: Home of Thomas Jefferson Heritage Theater Festival: The Mountaintop Dinner in the Dome Room

CORE: Cultural Orientation, Reflection and Engagement facilitated a short course to deepen students’ experience on Grounds. Four meetings and several exercises developed participants’ observation, listening, and communication skills and encouraged reflection on cross-cultural learning during UVA Advance.

7

Applications & Admission UVA Advance received 143 completed applications. 67 students enrolled in the program: 42 from Virginia, 13 from China, and 12 from out-of-state. 44 females and 23 males participated. Every international student was assigned a roommate from the U.S. 20 applicants submitted applications for financial aid. Nine students received aid from UVA. UVA Advance awarded the equivalent of full in-state tuition and fees to six students. (The Tilney-Cristo Rey Scholarship covered remaining expenses for one out-of-state student from the Houston area.) A seventh student’s in-state tuition and fees were covered by a combination of funds from UVA Advance and the Office of Diversity and Equity. Two students received partial scholarships of $1,250 from UVA Advance.

“This program was the best expe-rience of my life. I am really go-ing to miss everyone.” “This is the best experience I’ve ever had. I’ve met so many people that I know I will always be able to talk to.” “Performance in my classes gave me confidence in my ability to succeed in college, as well as the ability to live in a dorm with oth-ers and maintain a healthy social life aside from my academic work.” “I am definitely more prepared for higher education after the UVA Advance Program. The workshops aiding this as well as the classes in general.”

ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOLS

Summer & Special Academic Programs is pleased to sponsor summer archaeological field schools at two of Virginia’s premier historic sites: Thomas Jefferson’s primary home and plantation at Monticello and Jefferson’s personal retreat and plantation at Poplar Forest. These field schools offer a unique opportunity for students to make a contribution to the research and interpretation of early American history. Eighteen students enrolled in these field schools earning six graduate credits.

MESDA SUMMER INSTITUTE

A partnership between the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts and Summer & Special Academic Programs enabled eleven visiting graduate students to explore history and material culture at the MESDA Summer Institute. The Institute this year focused on the Great Wagon Road stretching from Philadelphia through the Shenandoah Valley into North Carolina. A multidisciplinary approach included lectures and discussions as well as hands-on research with relevant artifacts.

MORVEN SUMMER INSTITUTE

Thirty-three students participated in the 2018 Morven Summer Institute. Held at the University of Virginia’s Morven Farm, the Institute allowed students to explore sustainability, design, food systems, and ecology through an interdisciplinary lens. The intensive, ten-day format of the MSI classes immerse students into their topics of focus.

8

The 2018 Summer Language Institute offered eight-week courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Tibetan. SLI students attended classes five days a week and up to seven and a half hours a day. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are developed in a student-centered environment. Participants earn 12 credits and cover the equivalent of two years of language study in the French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Tibetan programs. Students in these programs enter the SLI with no prior knowledge of the language and exit with intermediate-level proficiency, ready to take on the next challenge whether education or travel abroad, 3000-level college language courses, or graduate-level research. The Chinese and Arabic SLI programs yield eight credits in eight weeks and cover the equivalent of one year of college-level instruction. In addition to the eight credits of Modern Standard Arabic, the intermediate Arabic SLI includes an introduction to Levantine Colloquial (one additional credit).

In partnership with Trueland Consulting, Summer & Special Academic Programs hosted two concurrent American English language and culture programs for high-intermediate to low advanced learners of English from several universities in China. The seminar meetings were held on UVA Grounds in July. Excursions, lectures, and seminar sessions broadened participants’ understanding of the U.S. and increased their ability to communicate in North American English. Day trips to Washington, D.C. and the Blue Ridge Mountains, a visit to Monticello, daily meetings with conversation partners, and other activities complemented language study. Daily guest lectures introduced topics related to American studies. Discussion-based seminars with the program instructor fostered discussion about each day’s guest lecture topic and a variety of other subjects, including: American popular culture, American music, U.S. politics, and American Higher Education. Summer & Special Academic Programs provided guidance and administrative support to programs that hosted international visitors for summer research projects. The School of Engineering hosted students from Daegu Gyeonbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea, and NanoSTAR hosted international visitors through its summer research program.

JANUARY TERM

More than 800 students enrolled in domestic

January Term courses, and 378 students

participated in overseas programs. Just over

$400,000 in institutional aid was awarded by

SFS to high-need, low income students.

15 education abroad programs are scheduled for

January Term 2019 were completed by the

application deadline of October 1, 2017.

Enrollment for domestic January Term classes

begins Monday November 12, 2018.

CAELC

English as a Second Language (ESL) services at the

University are offered through the Center for

American English Language and Culture (CAELC).

CAELC is charged both to provide leadership on

issues related to ESL/intercultural communication

and to help members of the University of Virginia

community attain the level of linguistic and cultural

proficiency needed for success at a research university

in the United States. Nearly 400 English language

assessments were administered in 2017-18. During

the academic year, 75 course sections were offered

with head count surpassing 700. Once again, well

over 200 volunteer slots were filled in the VISAS

(Volunteers with International Students, Scholars,

and Staff) program. The summer 2018 English for

Academic Purposes program enrolled 27 students.

Three intensive language and culture contract

programs were delivered. CAELC also administers the

TESOL Certificate Program, a collaboration with the

Linguistics Program, and provides tutors trained to

work with non-native users of English in the Writing

Center.

UVA EDUCATION ABROAD

In the Open Doors 2017 report published by the Institute for International Education (IIE), UVA is

again listed among the top 25 universities in the U.S. for the number of students awarded credit for

education abroad. This is the third year that UVA has made the top 25, a list mostly populated by

much larger institutions. And once again, outbound student mobility broke all previous records with

over 3,100 students engaging in education abroad activities fall 2017 through summer 2018. One

hundred thirteen UVA faculty-led programs, 73 of which were administered by the ISO, were

available to students in 2017-18. One hundred eighty faculty along with 43 staff members

contributed to these programs. Other achievements include a 22% increase from 2016-17 in the

number of students studying abroad for a semester or academic year. Thirty-one percent of all

undergraduates who pursued education abroad received need-based financial aid in 2017-18. In the

spring semester the number was 45%. Summer remains the least accessible term with only 23% of

participants qualifying for need-based aid. Fifteen percent of undergraduate participants were Pell

eligible in 2017-18. Six percent of undergraduates abroad were first-generation students. A new

graduate architecture program in Barcelona, Spain was successfully launched and will be offered

again in 2018. The inaugural UVA Global First program in London (fall, 2017) surpassed the

expectations of University leaders, faculty, and students. Twenty-three incoming undergraduates will

begin their study in London in fall, 2018. UVA in Valencia celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2018

and enjoyed record enrollment. A comprehensive academic and operational review of the Valencia

program was completed in 2017-18, which included an extensive self-study and evaluation by a team

of external reviewers. The review is a first for a UVA Education Abroad program. A new academic

internship program was offered with East China Normal University in Shanghai and will serve as a

model for other sites in 2019. UVA is now one of a small number of institutions that offers a

comprehensive handbook for education abroad faculty and staff. Pre-Departure training for students

enrolled in outside programs will be delivered through new online modules developed by ISO staff in

2018. ISO staff continued to collaborate with colleagues across the University in 2017-18 to increase

awareness of education abroad opportunities, extend access to education abroad, increase the

number of majors that integrate education abroad in their program of study, and help students

leverage their education abroad experiences in their job search and plans to advance their education.
