Faculty Development Opportunities

Faculty Grant Information

The International Studies Major Program is offering small grants ($100-300) to facilitate any full- or part-time faculty member or teaching member of the staff who is engaged in internationalizing the curriculum. Specifically, funding is intended for, but not limited to, assisting instructors who are attending workshops, institutes, or conferences outside their geographic or topical areas of expertise. The money may be used for conference registration fees, travel costs, or other expenses related to gaining—and employing—greater knowledge of the world outside the United States.
