Eight scientists from the University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) have been selected to form the ACES Academy for Global Engagement class of 2007. The year-long program encourages global awakening in areas of education, research and outreach.
One member of each of the seven departments in the College and one Extension educator will represent the 2007 class. The Academy involves a year-long commitment which focuses on global activities at the college, campus, and national levels, and culminates in an international immersion trip.
Each member of the Academy is encouraged through the program by senior faculty mentors (called Fellows) who have had scholarly experience on an international level.
The scholars selected for the 2007 ACES Academy for Global Engagement are:
"Last year was a year-long experiment, taking the scholars through a program designed to infuse global awareness into all levels of their scholarship. The experience acted as a catalyst behind new, collaborative multidisciplinary research projects between the scholars and their new international partners," said Mary Ann Lila, ACES Global Connect director.
The ACES Academy for Global Engagement class of 2007 scholars will begin their program this month with meetings with campus international leaders and will visit Washington D.C. to gain exposure to funding agencies and resources that can assist with international activities in higher education. They will also meet to select a topic to study and a destination for the program's international immersion trip.
