The Global+ Faculty Fellows Program was established to provide training, resources, and a supportive community to support faculty development and global competency. This program develops Global Faculty Fellows cohorts by engaging them in global experiences abroad; by providing training and resources for short-term, faculty-led study abroad program design and development; and by providing training related to academic advising for education abroad. Through these programs, a community of cross-campus leaders for interdisciplinary and international education will emerge and position education abroad and global learning as an integral part of academic degree programs.

Global+ Faculty Fellows Advising Training Program

The objective of the Global+ Faculty Fellows program is to enhance faculty advising concerning integrating global competency into a students’ major course of study, and educate students on the value of international studies, foreign languages, and study abroad programs. It also aims to enhance the College’s ability to advise and guide globally curious students.

Global+ Faculty Fellows Travel Leader Training Program

We are excited to engage our faculty in international studies and experiences!

The Global+ faculty leader training program is offered annually with a cohort of five global fellows. The goal of the program is to provide an opportunity for faculty to design a new course or to modify an existing course to include a faculty-led education abroad component. The Global Fellows program is designed around a series of workshops designed to help faculty explore best practices in experiential learning, education abroad, and global competency development. The workshops explore theories, implementation, and assessment of faculty-led education abroad.

  • Focus: Global Competency Development. Sessions were designed to help faculty explore best practices in experiential learning, education abroad, and global competency development. The workshops explore theories, implementation, and assessment of faculty-led education abroad. The program culminates in a program abroad (first for them and then with students!)  Program intended to promote travel to non-traditional destinations or non-English speaking destinations.
  • Sessions:
    • Program Development & Framework
    • Teaching on the Road
    • Program Proposal Process, Timeline & Site Visits
