ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the experiences of faculty who participated in a United States Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies Foreign Language grant in Puerto Rico and Ecuador in 2016–2019. Faculty from a wide variety of general education courses across our university participated in this project over a four-year period. This chapter provides a roadmap for how we went about internationalizing the curriculum and the results of our efforts. We discuss faculty experiences working with community-based organizations and enhancing their curriculum based upon their experiences in these countries. Some designed study abroad courses based while others infused their courses with relevant international connections. Through collaboration with colleagues from Puerto Rico and Ecuador, faculty engaged in community and curriculum development to cultivate change in the curriculum.
