The Global Crossroads Internationalization Initiative seeks to advance internationalization of the programs of learning that define our undergraduates’ experience of the liberal arts. The program will conclude at the end of 2024 and all funds must be spent by then.
There is funding remaining for the faculty-focused programs: Shared Languages, Global Learning, Themed Courses, and New Directions in Global Scholarship. Faculty members interested in submitting a proposal are encouraged to contact Simon Gray ([email protected]) to discuss their funding idea.
Faculty-Focused Crossroads Programs
Themed Courses – Through collaborative development of shared course materials (i.e., with faculty collaborators from Alliance institutions) and by offering shared courses with international dimensions, faculty members will engage their students in interdisciplinary and international topics. Proposals to offer a Themed Course are developed by faculty teams and are submitted through the Alliance Liaison from one of the participating campuses.
Themed Courses Call for Proposals
New Directions in Global Scholarship – This program supports GLCA faculty members wishing to develop a new area of scholarly expertise that extends the global reach of current research or teaching. Recipients must seek out collaborators from Alliance institutions with expertise in the subject. Proposals in this program are developed by two or more faculty members and are submitted through the Alliance Liaison from one of the participating GLCA campuses.
New Directions Call for Proposals
Global Learning Courses – Courses offered through this program complement internationalization efforts by connecting courses in ways that leverage the expertise and cultural diversity of the thirty colleges and universities in the Global Liberal Arts Alliance. See the Global Learning Courses page for requirements, support, and how to participate.
Global Crossroads Leadership
GLCA Program Officer – Simon Gray manages the Global Crossroads initiative and Alliance programming
Alliance Liaisons – Each Alliance campus has an Alliance Liaison appointed by the institution’s president. The Liaison has responsibility for overseeing all Crossroads efforts and for advocacy of Alliance programs, communication with campus stakeholders, and oversight of the campus’ engagement with Alliance programs.
