Northwestern Buffett Institute for Global Affairs

Virtual International Classroom Partnering Grant Showcase

The Northwestern Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs and the Office of the Vice President for International Relations are excited to announce the continuation of the International Classroom Partnering Grant for 2021-2022. The grant awards $3,000 to faculty whose projects offer cross-cultural, global opportunities for student learning and engagement with our institutional partners abroad.

The Virtual International Classroom Partnering Grant Showcase, which took place on Monday, May 24, provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about creative co-teaching and global engagement initiatives supported by the International Classroom Partnering grant during the COVID-19 period and beyond. This year’s grantees showcased their diverse projects, shared best practices for partnering with a colleague abroad, and reflected on student takeaways. This event was co-organized by the Northwestern Searle Center for Advancing Learning & Teaching.
