3. Experiences should be related to courses that the traveler teaches and has direct relationships to the courses taught;
4. International conferences or other professional development opportunities should be within the discipline and support curricula or disciplinary projects;
5. Travel experiences include should include presenting a paper, participating on a panel, or teaching a class;
6. Sponsoring organization should be a recognize professional entity; More consideration will be given to travelers who are invited; and Frequency of trips such requests for COEHS should not be made within a 5-year cycle.
