This chapter is a case study of Carroll Community College, a small rural community college, and its plan to develop a viable travel program by using a hybrid model. This model includes three distinct cohorts: study abroad students (students who travel and take an associated credit course), lifelong learning students (travelers who take a continuing education course to prepare for the travel experience), and educational tourists (travelers who do not take an associated course). By allowing not only study abroad students but also lifelong learners (often called continuing education students) to participate in an international travel program, Carroll's mission is addressed. This chapter is a case study of how and why Carroll implemented the hybrid model as an example for other small community colleges that might wish to achieve similar results.

After completing two degrees in anthropology I wondered (as most graduates do) what I was going to do with a B.A. and M.A. in anthropology. Living in an isolated part of Israel (the southern Arava) my options were limited. There was only one small community college forty minutes away, so teaching anthropology on an academic level was a viable option but not as a full time job. I had focused my M.A. thesis on researching the socializing function of play and games among socially deprived children in a boarding school in Israel and discovered that I enjoyed working with children. Somehow I wanted to find a way of combining my love for children with my desire to pursue a career in anthropology. What did the anthropological approach have to offer children and how could I put forward this approach in a way that children could grasp?
