UACCM’s international travel program is still changing lives after twelve years of educational adventures. Since 2009, UACCM instructors have led nine tours, touching the lives of the students, staff, faculty, and community members who have gone along for the ride. Past trips included tours of Iceland, Greece, Japan, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Germany, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and France and were organized and led by UACCM instructors and experienced educational tour companies. Five-to-twelve-day tours provide students and community members opportunities to learn about foreign cultures through guided experiences and interaction with locals.

Group leader and English Instructor Lyndsey Daniel says, “For me, the best part of an educational tour is experiencing places through the eyes other travelers. Travelers realize quickly how much we have in common with people from different cultures. Also, I have seen the adventure of international travel build confidence and life-long friendships.”   

The fun and learning will continue with a tour of Spain and Morocco in May 2021. Everyone high school age and older is welcome, and participants on previous tours have ranged from ages 18 to 75.  UACCM students can earn three hours of college credit.

Any community members, students, or UACCM employees interested in joining a great group of people for a trip of a life time, can attend any of these three interest meetings at the UACCM Library Complex:

Wednesday, March 4: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Wednesday, March 4: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. 
Thursday, March 5: 12:05 p.m. - 12:55 p.m.

For more information about the international travel program, contact Lyndsey Daniel at 501-977-2170 or lyndsey.daniel@uaccm.edu.

November Student of the Month: Skylar Fuller

Image
Skylar is in her last semester at UACCM, pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology degree. After graduation, Skylar plans to transfer to Arkansas Tech University to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. When asked what is unique about her UACCM story, Skylar told us that she withdrew from college five years ago due to financial reasons and never thought that she would be able to return to college. When she decided to pursue her education again, UACCM was the right fit for her due to the small class sizes and the hands-on experience professors have from working in their field of study prior to teaching.  Skylar said her advice for current and future Timberwolves is "Don't be afraid to ask questions and use the resourses UACCM offers to students. Everyone is warm and welcoming on campus and here to help!"
