But every fall, Georgia Tech students begin the application process to spend their summer on Georgia Tech\u2019s Oxford Study Abroad Program. This year, Georgia Tech staff members are being encouraged to apply for a role in the program that has been introducing Georgia Tech students to Europe for almost 20 years.\n\t\n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe program allows students to take classes while visiting major cities in Europe, studying and expanding their global perspective. It also gives Georgia Tech staff, who accompany the students as group leaders, the chance to leave the Atlanta campus and experience new cultures, all while helping students have a safe and successful experience. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\t\u201cThe Oxford program allowed me to interact with staff and students in a format that was completely different from \u2026 my normal role at Georgia Tech,\u201d says Mahlet Endale, a psychologist in the Georgia Tech Counseling Center who participated as group leader this past summer. \u201cIt was refreshing and eye opening.\u201d\n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\tWith a demanding schedule \u2014 the Europe portion spans eight continental European cities in 30 days \u2014 and duties ranging from confirming museum reservations to liaising with the Dean of Students regarding student disciplinary issues, however, the role is best suited for the intrepid traveler. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\t\u201cThe Oxford Program is definitely not a vacation for the group leader. However, every day is an adventure and is filled with amazing sites and stories,\u201d says Brett Hulst, an area manager for Residence Life and veteran group leader. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\tTo apply to become a GT Oxford Study Abroad Program Group Leader for 2011, see the program website.
