Global Infusion Program

The mission of the Global Infusion Program is to promote the infusion of international content into the overall curriculum at Scottsdale Community College in order to produce students who will become productive and globally responsible citizens in a changing and multicultural world.

Sponsored by SCC's International Education program, the Global Infusion Program awards $1,500 grants to selected SCC faculty who add global content to one course that they regularly teach. The grant requires that you: 1) Attend a three-day workshop in mid-May to learn different methods of globalizing your course; 2) Develop a syllabus and course outline that demonstrate how the course has been globalized; and 3) Submit a couple of short reports to summarize which methods worked best for you. Grant proposals will be accepted through mid-April. To get a copy of the grant proposal form, contact Tom Hansen or call him at 480-423-6668.

For the 2009-10 school year, four SCC faculty (Lisa Cole, Bonnie Gray, Michael Nagano, and Paul Weser) will be infusing their classes with content that allows students to gain a global perspective on their various disciplines: anthropology, psychology, economics and geography. If you would like to see what they’ve done to “globalize” their courses, contact Tom Hansen.
 

Congratulations to the In the 2008-09 graduates of the Global Infusions Program: Keri Diggins, Roseanne Dlugosz, Susan Moore, Eric Loring and Phil Clark. They infused their classes with content that allows students to gain a global perspective on their various disciplines: sociology, early childhood education, English composition, English literature, and mathematics.
