PIC announces travel grant

The Padnos International Center is offering grants for faculty development through the Council on International Education Exchange.

Mark Schaub, executive director, said two grants are available for summer development programs. Eligibility is limited to tenured, tenure-track and full-time affiliate faculty members. He added that CIEE seminars are very interdisciplinary and will provide faculty members with a deep understanding of the host country and culture through interaction with faculty experts.

“We think that experience will, in turn, more richly affect that faculty member’s work back here at GVSU, whether better understanding the international students in their classes, or in their research or course development,” he said.

The deadline to apply is December 21. For a list of seminars, visit the CIEE Web site at www.ciee.org and click on “International Faculty Development Seminars.”
