Faculty Funding For Course Development

These courses should have the stated purpose of significantly expanding our students’ awareness of and engagement with international and global topics, connecting the on-campus curriculum with experiences abroad.

These labs should have the stated purpose of expanding significantly our students’ awareness of and engagement with international and global topics through abroad experiences or global experiences within the U.S. They highlight connections between local and global issues, contexts and concerns, and promote established and new global research partnerships.

All faculty who are interested in developing global engagement courses are encouraged to begin the exploratory process now through consultation with the Global Engagement Faculty Advisory Committee and funded opportunities for on-site exploration and planning. With endorsement from your department chair or program director, faculty are eligible to apply for funding for an exploratory trip by submitting a brief proposal to the Committee. On-site exploration must be followed by Global Innovation Course or Global Lab proposal development and submission by the following academic year.

Support for global proposals is awarded by the Global Engagement Faculty Advisory Committee. Levels of funding support will vary and depend on strength of the proposal, financial need, and availability of funds.
