    • Trip itinerary
    • Budget & payment plan options
    • Flights & ground transportation
    • Participant training requirements
    • Promotion & recruiting strategies
    • Application personalization
    • Academic options & course registration strategy
    • Miscellaneous needs (passports/visas, insurance, background checks, specific vendor requirements, etc.)
  2. The faculty/staff leader and the appropriate LU Send individuals will sign the Trip Agreement outlining the responsibilities of all involved parties.
  3. After the Trip Agreement has been signed, promotion & recruiting for the trip can begin. Students will also be able to apply for the trip at this point.
