Projects may include a new course, a new unit for an existing course, or a service learning component to an existing course that encourages the exchange of diverse perspectives. See project titles from current and previous Community College Internationalization fellows.

School of education faculty in Upstate New York can prepare our region’s future teachers to teach about diverse countries and cultures by collaborating with Cornell’s area studies programs and the South Asia Center.
