The University of Texas at Arlington, a Hispanic-serving institution, aims to expand its summer study abroad offerings by creating affordable, experiential, and full-credit courses.  To that end, the university will utilize its IDEAS grant to build upon existing collaborations between its School of Social Work and the Collective for Orphan Care and Education, an international organization that works in rural Kenya, to develop a service-learning, cross-disciplinary course accessible to students across majors.  IDEAS grant funds will support the development of this course and an exploratory faculty trip to Kenya.

The University of Washington (UW), an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institution, will use its IDEAS grant to create International Indigenous Paths, a new program to support the institution’s goal of increasing the number of Indigenous students who study abroad as they are an underrepresented group in study abroad.  UW’s Native Scholars Program will partner with the University of British Columbia (UBC) to recruit first-year Indigenous students for a week-long faculty-led trip to UBC.  This experience will equip students with the tools to successfully navigate the study abroad experience, paving the way for future students to do the same.  Several IDEAS grant-funded activities will support this objective, such as site visits to UBC; a faculty panel and class visits to give students an understanding of the academic opportunities available; and workshops to provide resources and guidance for students to navigate the study abroad application process.  Upon completing their experience at UBC, students will return to campus with a deeper understanding of how Indigenous human rights are acknowledged and incorporated into the student experience at home and abroad.

Through its IDEAS grant, the University of Wyoming will establish Indigeneity in the Americas:  Bahia, Brazil, a faculty-led study abroad program that will bring undergraduate students together with members of the Pataxó Indigenous community in Brazil.  Grant funding will support faculty and staff travel to Brazil to develop this new program.  The education abroad program will be based in the Native American and Indigenous Studies Department and run by its faculty, which will help in the sustainability of the program and recruitment of Indigenous students, who are underrepresented in study abroad.  The course will be an important contribution to the institution’s goals to expand the geographical reach of its study abroad programs, while also providing students with knowledge about Brazilian culture and insight into what it means to be Indigenous in Brazil.  This study abroad course will be developed collaboratively with the Pataxó, who are working to revitalize their endangered language, and a key element of the course will be an inaugural Language Revitalization Symposium.

Through its IDEAS grant, West Virginia University will create two faculty-led study abroad programs to Belize and Wales with the goal of expanding study abroad access for those who are underrepresented in study abroad, including first-generation and rural students.  These programs will be part of a new general education course that first-year students can take during their second semester.  IDEAS grant funds will support the development of this course and exploratory faculty trips to both locations.  Both Belize and Wales have commonalities with the United States as English-dominant countries with minoritized languages and evolving mining industries, one of the state’s traditional industries.  The program will enable students to experience the local culture, languages, and economies of each country and draw comparisons to the social and historical context of West Virginia.  Students will explore topics such as the effects of colonialism on economic development, educational policies, and language rights.  These experiences will help students gain the critical skills needed to succeed in an increasingly globalized and interconnected society.

Foreign Policy Goal Focus: Climate, Energy, and the Environment; Economic Development and Entrepreneurship

Through its IDEAS grant, Widener University will create a credit-bearing summer internship program in Costa Rica titled Coffee Culture, which will enhance students’ awareness of climate change, energy, and the environment and will be available to students from all majors.  IDEAS grant funds will support the development of this internship program and an exploratory faculty trip to Costa Rica.  In collaboration with Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, student interns will explore the importance of agricultural communities to Costa Rica’s economic, cultural, social, and environmental well-being and will ultimately understand the connections between their own consumer habits and their impact on environments in other parts of the world.  Through the development of a comprehensive, replicable model, the IDEAS grant will not only help launch the program itself but also build the necessary framework to promote and advocate for study abroad to all students regardless of their academic goals.

Foreign Policy Goal Focus: Global Health

Xavier University of Louisiana, a historically Black university, will use its IDEAS grant to create the Develop Impactful Vietnam-based Education Abroad and Reimagine Student Engagement program.  IDEAS grant funds will support program development costs including a faculty exploratory trip to Vietnam.  This initiative aims to increase student participation from two groups that are underrepresented in the university’s study abroad programs:  male and Asian/Pacific Islander students.  Asian/Pacific Islander students at Xavier are primarily Vietnamese American STEM majors who have expressed interest in a global health course in Vietnam. Thus, this program will directly address this need.  To target male students, the project will create a Student Buddying Initiative to partner study abroad alumni with interested students, reducing hesitancy among students who are more likely to not go abroad.  This program will also extend the university’s institutional partnerships in the region and provide a course in which students can examine global health policies, interventions, and outcomes, shadow a local hospital, and network with local health experts in Vietnam.
