Through grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the US Department of Education, the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at the University of Pittsburgh has partnered with community colleges to help faculty internationalize curricula. Pitt’s Center for Russian and East European Studies (REES) and the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) would like to invite interested faculty and staff from any of the universities and colleges in our area to learn more about the process, including program and curriculum development, institutional partnerships and grant writing. CCBC faculty members will showcase internationally focused course modules that they developed through the NEH-funded “Bridging Cultures” partnership with Pitt. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. To attend, PLEASE PRE-REGISTER by contacting REES Assistant Director Gina Peirce at gbpeirce@pitt.edu by November 1.
