Aloha from the Kapi‘olani CC Grants Office (KCC GO). If you are looking for new opportunities to gain first-hand experience to develop international courses, curricula, and teaching materials, this might be the opportunity for you!
The Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) offers faculty development seminars to community college and minority-serving institution (MSI) faculty and administrators. With the reopening of full-fledged international study opportunities, there is an immediate and growing need for US community colleges and minority-serving institutions, like Kapi‘olani, to provide a global perspective to students that will broaden students’ cultural horizons and foster critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills for an increasingly interconnected world.
To this end, CAORC offers fully-funded overseas seminars that help faculty and administrators at US community colleges and minority-serving institutions gain international experience with the aim of developing and improving international courses, curricula, and teaching materials at their home institutions.
Find out more about these seminars at information sessions that will be held on these dates (click on the link to register) These sessions will cover the objectives and structure of the program, how to craft a strong application, and an open Q&A. (All times listed are Hawaiian Standard Time)
