Best Practices Showcasing Globalization Across the Curriculum

In January 2018, the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at the University of Pittsburgh invited faculty from two and four year institutions of higher education to attend a one-day workshop on internationalizing across the curriculum. For the past five years, UCIS has partnered with the Nine University and College International Studies Consortium in Georgia and with the Community College of Beaver County and other local community colleages to provide multidisciplinary faculty development workshops on incorporating global and international themes into syllabi. This workshop was the culmination of five years' worth of collaborations where the past participants of faculty development workshops gave presentations on how they globalized their classes.
