The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has awarded $156,000 in funding to two groundbreaking projects through its newly established Transdisciplinary Global South Community-Based Learning Program Grant.
This initiative, which is part of the university's Vision 2030 Global Strategy, aims to promote innovative transdisciplinary education abroad experiences in the Global South.
The grant supports not only the implementation costs for the two projects, but also the deeper goal of encouraging faculty and students to collaborate directly with the communities their work impacts.
