Faculty can apply to teach on the Summer Consortium Program. 

The Montepulciano Summer Consortium Program is a five-week consortium-based education abroad program in Montepulciano, Italy. The Montepulciano Summer Consortium is built around a general education study abroad model that provides students with the opportunity to satisfy general education requirements and/or upper-division courses in multiple disciplines. To promote continued diversification of course offerings, full-time faculty from all disciplines at Summer Core consortium institutions are encouraged to apply for a teaching position. The consortium is hosted by ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, but is in partnership with Georgia College, Georgia Southern University, and Valdosta State University.
