World View, in collaboration with UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives, is providing grants to community college educators to help them ”internationalize” their courses.
Over thirty-five grants have been awarded to North Carolina community college instructors to date, and World View is now accepting proposals for the next round of grants. The proposal submission deadline is January 15, 2010. Awards will be announced February 1, 2010.
This grant program is funded by UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives (CGI) and organized by World View. Each grantee receives $750 to compensate for time spent and to offset costs for the trip to UNC-Chapel Hill for research. At UNC grantees will spend a day working with appropriate librarians and faculty arranged by World View.
Our intention is to support the addition of international content to existing courses that have little or no such content. Preference will be given to proposals that develop regularly taught and/or required courses, and courses that affect large numbers of students.
