About This Event
Global Engagement Showcase – Welcome and introduction by Provost Sacha Kopp and Irv Zakheim
The International Education Council (IEC) strives to build upon 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s mission to develop a comprehensive international ethos on campus. The IEC promotes internationalism activities by fostering the internationalization of curricula and encouraging international experiences among faculty, staff, and students.
Of the several functions, one is to award Global Engagement Faculty Development funds. This fund’s purpose is to make opportunities available for faculty to create and/or share global knowledge by:
- Developing global engagement components for a course,
- Pursuing research/scholarly and creative endeavors, or
- Creating opportunities for collaboration with international faculty and students.
The Global Engagement Showcase is a collaborative event with the Center for Global Engagement and brings together faculty from across the disciplines to share their insights on how their research and activities impact 91³Ô¹ÏÍø's strategic commitment to offering student experiences to deepen their understanding of cultures and global issues while also bringing back to students new ideas at the forefront of their disciplines that positively impact the world and our community. Although their projects have different focuses, the thread that ties them together is that they were made possible by the Global Engagement faculty development fund, and they respond to the Jesuit imperative to be contemplatives in action (i.e. where the intellect is engaged as we go about doing the nitty-gritty work of the world).
Welcome and introduction by Provost Sacha Kopp and Irv Zakheim.
