<p>Dear Russ Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am reaching out to ask your support in sharing a study abroad opportunity in Ghana with your students and faculty networks. The program will take place from December 27, 2025, through January 7, 2026, and the application deadline is next Friday (9/12).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This intensive program immerses students in African diasporic history and culture through public history sites, popular culture, and community engagement in Ghana. The program is open to all majors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Given the short timeline, I would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate this opportunity to students as soon as possible. A flyer is attached. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you for your help in ensuring that our students have access to this valuable global learning experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
