The MU Council on International Initiatives (CII) is pleased to announce the 2014 Global Scholars Program (GSP) trip to India.\u00a0 This nationally recognized program is designed to support MU faculty members who seek to internationalize their teaching and research.\u00a0 Since its inception, over 150 faculty members across Colleges and Schools have participated.\u00a0 As a result, numerous research collaborations have begun, and dozens of courses have been modified \u2013 enhancing the learning experience of thousands of MU students each year.\u00a0 In 2002, the Global Scholars Program received the Andrew Heiskell Award<\/a> for Best Practices and Innovation in International Education from the Institute of International Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GSP is designed to: 1) expand faculty involvement in MU\u2019s strategic international relationships; and 2) foster tangible new international collaborations for participants, including research grants or papers and\/or teaching innovations. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Global Scholars India<\/strong><\/p>\n

What?<\/strong> A 15 day study tour of India to develop linkages for research, education, and outreach with counterparts in India and to develop a deeper cultural understanding of the rich Indian culture.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> With her vast population, increasing young English-speaking population, entrepreneurial spirit, and rich cultural traditions, India is poised to provide a great opportunity for MU to expand and enhance research, teaching, and outreach efforts. Furthermore, as India relaxes its policy on foreign direct investments, it becomes even more important for both MU students and faculty to better understand the power that India has on the world economy. Presently, India offers a broad range of possible research collaborations with MU faculty, including business, agriculture, the arts, architecture, religious studies, political studies, to name a few.\u00a0 In addition, Missouri has important linkages with several universities and institutes in India.\u00a0 A list of potential host institutions is presented below with indications of present Missouri linkages.<\/p>\n
