Global Classroom • These are classrooms that engage our students with students at one of our partner universities abroad through a range of on-line and electronic technologies, addressing global challenges and solutions. • We are launching a few such pilot classrooms at Drexel this Spring Term 2013. Faculty members who are ready to incorporate a global dimension into their classroom experience and link it to a class of students from one of our international partners are eligible to apply to participate in this pilot. • The Office of International Programs will provide up to four $1,000 stipends to professors who propose to incorporate this global aspect into a scheduled class for the Spring Term. • To apply, please go to drexel.edu/international or contact Adam Zahn, alz26@drexel.edu
