Callout for global Freshman Year Seminar and Bridge Instructors

Help us globalize the First Year Experience

As a part of IUPUI's U.S. Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Languages (UISFL) grant, the Office of International Affairs is seeking interested Bridge and First-Year Seminar (FYS) instructors who would like to integrate global learning into the First-Year Experience (FYE). This is a wonderful opportunity for instructors to learn more about a recognized high-impact practice and prepare IUPUI students to negotiate and contribute to the complex and interconnected world in which they learn, work, and live.

Bridge and FYS instructors involved in this initiative will join a cohort of 20 instructors who will participate in a professional development training session during June 2023. The session will provide practical guidance on how to meaningfully incorporate global perspectives into your FYE learning environments, including an overview of the new IUPUI Global Learning Module for Bridge & FYS.  

Instructors will be compensated for attending the professional development training and incorporating global perspectives into FYE during Fall 2023.

If you are interested in teaching a global Bridge and FYS, please complete theregistration form by April 21, 2023. Contact Lauren Jobe (ljobe@indiana.edu), grant program coordinator, with any questions.
