Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp

Leading a semester abroad

A semester abroad means two dozen students, classes, housing, and weekend trips planned from thousands of miles away. Basecamp gives staff one place for trips, midterms, and housing, so students always know what’s next.

Westlake’s Spring Semester in Florence plans weekend trips from proposed to done on a Card Table, with To-dos for the Siena trip, midterms, and housing. The Calendar holds midterm critiques, photos of Florence and student life fill Docs & Files, and program staff share daily updates in Chat.
