Appointment: This is a 2 year temporary, full-time position. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2019 and the appointment is expected to last through June 2021.



Pac Rim Program Description:



The Pacific Rim Study Abroad Program (PacRim Program) promotes the liberal educational mission of the University of Puget Sound, extending the curriculum to incorporate substantive encounters with Asian life and culture. PacRim also serves as a forum for students’ personal development through involvement in a strong community, the cultivation of tolerance and independence, and improved intercultural competence.



Once every three years, a group of students from the University of Puget Sound travels to Asia for nine months of rigorous academic work and experiential learning. Visiting several Asian nations, the group engages with different systems of culture, economics, politics, religion, and philosophy. Academic work, Asian classrooms, and experiential education in Asian cultural contexts extend the limits of the conventional curriculum.



The PacRim Program mobilizes an approach that seeks to maximize site utilization and increase intercultural competence among student participants. This approach focuses on intentionality and critical thinking about socio-cultural differences and favors learning through immersion with cultural mentoring. This is accomplished through interventionist approaches to students’ study abroad experience that are designed to promote intercultural understanding.
