This upper-division course will provide opportunities to hike in spectacular areas of physical diversity including volcanic, coastal and alpine regions of New Zealand's South Island. Educational visits to the only Antarctic Center in the world and to the Canterbury Museum where Maori culture, history and the European colonization of New Zealand are presented. We also visit a Maori cultural center where students see native animals including rare Kiwis, an authentic Maori village, Maori songs and dances performed by locals and experience a Maori hangi meal. Students interact with local educators in multiple settings to hear their perspectives on important issues such as diversity, endangered species projects, and their environmental emphasis on natural resources and sustainability.

Global and intercultural education is one of the primary focal points of the academic program at Pacific Lutheran University.
Committed to educate for a just, healthy, sustainable, and peaceful world, PLU weaves global education through almost every aspect of a student's study. World events shape our lives, and PLU's curriculum reflects that reality. As a result, students will graduate well prepared for graduate study or a career with a global focus.
PLU's partnership with Earth Deeds allows us to go further in these commitments and enable students to measure and acknowledge the unavoidable carbon footprints from their study away experience and help support a meaningful sustainability project.
