Internationalization Collaborative Mini-Grant Awards 2005
ACE has awarded two mini-grants of $5,000 each to
learning partnerships between institutional members of the
Internationalization Collaborative for initiatives to promote
internationalization and mutual learning on their campuses. The purpose
of the mini-grants is to encourage institutions to develop activities to
learn from each other and to accelerate the impact of
internationalization at their institutions. Mini-grant awards have been
issued to:
James Madison University, Tidewater Community College, and
Old Dominion University. These institutions will conduct the
"Civility and Service-Learning in a Global Society: A Joint
International Service-Learning Program in the Dominican Republic". This
joint effort will establish and implement a collaborative and creative
international service learning program centered on the theme of
"civility and service in a global community." Through a strategic
combination of faculty development/curriculum workshops, on site program
development in the Dominican Republic and administrative collaboration
among the project partners, this project will expand or create
service-learning as a legitimate, credit-bearing global activity for
students, and generate enriching faculty development for learning
partners. Moreover, through the sharing of expertise, resources,
contacts, and experiences, a collaborative international
service-learning project in the Dominican Republic will add a rich
dimension to campus internationalization efforts, meet a need that might
otherwise go unmet, and enhance the international profile of all three
participating institutions.
Park University, St. Mary’s University,
Kapi’olani Community College, and The University of Kansas.
These institutions will conduct the "Global Solutions Service Project".
This project will enhance internationalization efforts at all four
participating universities, provide invaluable service-learning
opportunities for their students and faculty, and foster future
cooperation among participating students, faculty, and institutions.
Each university already has service-learning components, but some are
more developed than others. This grant will permit all four universities
and their students to work cooperatively, leveraging their strengths, to
produce more meaningful, better-developed service-learning projects in
all four institutions.
