Deadline: April 19, 2005
As part of an on-going effort to internationalize the curriculum at MU, the Council on International Initiatives is offering up to ten (10) $1,000 stipends for faculty with continuing appointments to develop a new international course or significantly revise an existing course to make it more international. Courses with a strong international theme that also focus on new immigrant groups living in the U.S. also will be considered in this competition.
Teaching faculty are invited to submit a short proposal (two to three pages, double-spaced) that includes: 1) a narrative description of the new course, or how a preexisting course will be substantially revised; 2) the course title and a (possible) course number; and 3) a discussion of the potential impact you expect the course to have on MU students and the university's international profile. The proposal also should indicate whether or not the course is undergraduate or graduate, the anticipated enrollment, and the frequency with which it will be offered. To be competitive for funding the course mut be offered sometime during the next two academic years and be taught at least three times within the next six-year period. Faculties from all academic disciplines are invited to submit proposals.
