Global Education Seminar

The Global Education Seminar (formerly the Faculty Global and Intercultural Study-Travel Program) serves as a key element for supporting academic units' strategic plans for internationalization. The program is an educational and scholarly initiative, providing an exciting opportunity for a coordinated team of faculty to be immersed in international locales, with intensive faculty study about a strategic site in advance of the three-week exploratory visit. The initiative seeks to broaden the pedagogical and scholarly horizons of faculty members, providing them with concrete, site-specific resources and relationships that can motivate and shape revision of the courses they teach, as well as inform additional international collaborations.

The program will familiarize a growing body of University of Dayton faculty in undergraduate and graduate programs, who formerly have had little or no international experience in the target region, with selected international locations as sites for academic exploration and study. Participants will have opportunities to strengthen the University's current network of international resources and relationships that can enrich curriculum revision (including revisions in support of the Common Academic Program), motivate new scholarly projects, and expand international faculty exchanges and grant opportunities.

Faculty interested in participating in this program should contact their department chairs.
