The Global Engagement Vision Award seeks to engage departments, programs and offices in developing a global vision for their units, with an eye towards advancing our collective commitment to comprehensive internationalization and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As part of the implementation of the Internationalization Strategic Plan produced from LMU’s participation in the American Council on Education’s Internationalization Laboratory (ACE Lab), the Global Engagement Vision Award will provide funding to faculty and staff of $1,000 to:
-
Develop a global vision statement (a paragraph or two) for their departments/programs/office (in consultation with their departments/programs/offices) to be posted on the department/program/offices’ website, and
-
Provide an overview of department/programs/office global-local engagement:
a). For Academic Departments/Programs: Curate a list of current course offerings that reflect global, international or transnational themes/topics with at least 25% content, as well as future courses that will further fulfill the vision. This list must also note, where applicable, which courses fulfill specific Core requirements (e.g., Ethics and Justice, First Year Seminar, etc.)
b). For offices: Curate a list of current engagements, including current programs and regularly-held events that reflect global, international or transnational themes/topics.
Five grants of $1000 are available this academic year. Funds will be disbursed upon completion and approval of the deliverables.
Deadline: February 2, 2024.
Work to be completed by: May 15, 2024.
Questions can be directed to Dr. Jennifer Ramos, Director of Global Learning at jennifer.ramos@lmu.edu.
