Featured Opportunities
The International Center and Education Abroad are thrilled to be able to offer two internal funding opportunities to CSN faculty that will lead to the development of more in-person and virtual international and intercultural experiences for our students, empowering them to lead and succeed in an ever globalizing world. For more information on these opportunities, please see the below:
Virtual Exchange
Fellowship
Eight (8) awards of $1,000 will be offered to faculty to implement virtual exchange into new or existing courses at CSN. Selected faculty will attend a series of virtual seminars to discuss best practices, secure international partners, and develop their virtual exchange course, after which they will receive $500. After implementing the course within the next three (3) terms and completing an assessment form, faculty will receive the second and final stipend of $500.
Faculty interested in the Spring 2024 cohort should apply by January 26th via the application below.
Faculty-Led International
Experience Development Grant
Awards of up to $2,500 will be made to faculty who are in the process of creating study, internship, or research abroad opportunities for CSN students, enabling faculty to visit academic partners, cultural sites, and fine-tune their international experience. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of faculty and staff from across the institution in November and March, with awards of up to $2,500 made to faculty based on academic rigor and feasibility of their program, degree of cultural immersion, duration of program, financial viability, and current risk/safety concerns.
