  As an extra-curricular program, participation is strongly encouraged but not required. We offer a variety of trips so eligibility will vary. Some trips will be by invitation only, others are open to anyone interested dependent only on space. All trips will require an application that will be reviewed by the trip moderators and the DIA Immersion Director.

• Can students propose trips?

  Read More
  All DIA Immersion trips require a faculty and/or staff lead so trip proposals are only accepted by current faculty and staff. Students may partner with a faculty or staff member to create a proposal.

• What do these trips cost and is there financial aid available?

  Read More
  The cost of the immersion trips vary widely depending on location, flight and housing costs, length of stay, and the costs of any program activities. The details of the cost of participation are published along with the trip description in the annual catalog.

  
  

  Our goal is that all students manage the cost of participation on their own, fundraising at least 50% of the total cost. No financial aid is available for these extra-curricular trips. At the same time we do not want costs to prevent any student from participating and so we offer fundraising support  for students that is guided by the DIA Immersion Director.
