Reminder: Call for Submissions to the Database of International Engagements
The Global Learning Seminar and General Education-Global Awareness area are in the process of creating a database with an aim to extend, update and make searchable information pertaining to international engagements by EMU faculty. The objective is to create a resource for instructors who would like to integrate virtual global learning opportunities into their courses. Additionally, the database may be used to research opportunities that instructors may make available to students. Through this project, we endeavor to create a network of faculty contacts in universities worldwide resulting in opportunities for our students to engage in conversations and collaboration with students in universities outside the United States.
