Susan Burns, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, said that\u00a0if not enough students sign up she will decide in mid to late October to cut the trips or say for sure whether they are a go.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the initial deposits for the trips are due September or October. However, if a student decided in November they want to go on one of the May Terms and there are still seats open, if they can make up the payments, the college will allow them to go. \u00a0Registration for the trips usually isn\u2019t required until January.<\/p>\n<p>May Term travel was added to the curriculum because the college believes it helps fulfill the part of the mission statement that talks about life long learning.\u00a0 May Terms don\u2019t only help students understand the importance of life long learning, teachers learn as well.\u00a0 Some professors who go on these trips have never been to that country before; others have and want to expand their experience to their students.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s your first time getting the chance to travel abroad or you have done it before, Morningside\u2019s May Term program has many opportunities that you can check out.\u00a0 If you have further questions you can contact one of the professors listed above and find out about any additional meetings they will be having.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0&#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paige Potter&#8211; If you would like to get out of the country for a couple of weeks and don\u2019t have anything going May 12 through May 26, 2013, you should check out one of the nine traveling May Terms Morningside is offering next year.
