Watchful Eyes and Student Mobility: Widening student access to international education through faculty-led programs abroad

“Experience the world under the watchful eyes of a faculty member,” is Seneca’s slogan for faculty-led programs abroad (FLPA). This model of outbound mobility has demonstrated success at significantly increasing the number of Seneca students who gain international experiences. To continue on this positive trajectory, Seneca expands the number of FLPAs, and target student groups that are under-represented in outbound mobility programs. By collaborating with partners in non-traditional countries and supporting target student groups, this project widens access and equity to international education, so that our traveling student body is representative of Seneca’s diverse and vibrant student population.
