IDEAS for Internationalizing the Curriculum: Faculty-led, Cultural Heritage, Hybrid Models

Wednesday, October 30, 2024
2:40 PM – 3:40 PM CDT
Location: Schaumburg G
Embedding education abroad opportunities into curricula looks different depending on your institution’s goals and resources. Attendees will hear from three diverse U.S. Department of State IDEAS grant recipients who have all approached this topic in unique ways relevant for their campuses. Speakers will share their approaches to increasing education abroad opportunities and building capacity at their institution through three different models: faculty-led, short-term exchange, and hybrid programs.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore a model of embedding short-term education abroad programs into curriculum to increase education abroad opportunities through Grinnell College’s faculty-led site-based learning workshop in Mexico.
  • Consider how cultural heritage programs increase participation with students from underrepresented communities through the example of St. Cloud State University’s Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Exchange program in Australia.
  • Learn about how a Hispanic-serving institution is promoting sustainable study abroad programs and internationalization within on-campus courses both in-person and virtually through North Park University’s SDG program in Nepal.
