Kapi‘olani faculty are eligible to apply for a fully-funded seminar in Mexico at the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) sites in Mexico City, Puebla, and Tlaxcala.

This seminar offers a transformative opportunity for faculty to participate in a study abroad experience that will further Kapi‘olani’s commitments as an indigenous serving institution and a campus supporting excellence in international education.

The Indigenous population of Mexico is one of the world’s largest, and Indigenous migrants from diverse linguistic and cultural traditions have come to the U.S. for decades, with their numbers continuing to increase.

Participants will experience the wide diversity of Mexico’s Indigenous history, society, and culture and its relevance to the future of the United States. Round-trip travel, accommodations, in-country transportation, and meals will be provided for the seminar.

The application requirements include:

  1. Personal statement essays (four total; 500 words each)
