Global Immersion
Decolonizing Education
Where: Dakar, Senegal
Our Decolonizing Education Immersion Program welcomes undergraduate students to Senegal over winter term for eight days of service learning. Together we examine the specific ways that knowledge, education, and imagination have been impacted by colonization in the region—and the ways in which local communities have engaged with, resisted, reformed, and reimagined learning over the course of the 20th and 21st century. We will take lessons in Wolof and read about important figures and pedagogies in Senegalese history, while also participating in one education based community directed service project.
Global Learning: Spring Break
Where: Accra, Ghana
When: March 7-14, 2026
Join us for an unforgettable Spring Break in Ghana, where history, culture, and global learning converge! This immersive journey takes you to the heart of Ghana’s past and present—from reflections at Cape Coast Castle to the intellectual legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois at his Accra memorial. Walk in the footsteps of Kwame Nkrumah at his iconic mausoleum, explore Jamestown, and engage with local scholars and changemakers. Each day blends guided tours, interactive workshops, and group discussions, all while staying in a private villa that serves as our home base for reflection and connection. Designed for students eager to deepen their understanding of African history and contemporary Ghanaian society, this program promises inspiration, education, and adventure.
