- Oct 18, 2018
AUSTIN, Texas — Research teams looking into air pollution in India, housing conditions in Mexico and perceptions of skin color in Ghana are among the inaugural seven recipients of the President’s Award for Global Learning at The University of Texas at Austin.
After a highly competitive process, the interdisciplinary teams were chosen to receive up to $25,000 and fully funded travel to implement research, social impact and entrepreneurship projects in seven regions across the world during summer 2019.
“All of the UT students and faculty members who submitted proposals should be proud of their work — their innovative approaches to addressing critical problems are outstanding,” said UT President Gregory L. Fenves. “This award program combines experiential learning with interdisciplinary engagement to give our students the opportunity to learn, practice and discover in international settings. I am thankful to the International Board of Advisors for providing the funding to make the President’s Award for Global Learning possible.”
