PIC offers grants for faculty development

The Padnos International Center is offering grants for faculty members to participate in seminars sponsored by the Council on International Education Exchange.

Grand Valley is a member institution of CIEE, which offers many faculty development seminars each summer. Seminars are short-term, intensive, educational experiences designed to challenge preconceptions and open minds to a wide variety of issues shaping the world. The 2009 seminars will be held in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Australia, Europe and the Middle East. 

The deadline to apply for a CIEE grant is December 15. Applications are online at www.gvsu.edu/pic, click on "Faculty and Staff." Participation is limited to tenured, tenure-track, and full-time affiliate faculty. For a list of seminars, visit the CIEE Web site at www.ciee.org.
