<div class="umd-rich-text">Dear University of Maryland Faculty:

I am pleased to announce the launch of the University of Maryland's "Global Classrooms Initiative." Attached, you will find a Call for Proposals. The Global Classrooms Initiative provides financial support to faculty to develop innovative, project-based courses that bring together UMD students and students from partner universities around the world using various digital technologies. These exciting new courses aim to provide our students with international experiences that mirror the kind of work they will encounter throughout their lives: cross cultural, project-based and virtual.

For more information on the Global Classrooms Initiative, please contact Dr. Raluca Nahorniac in the Office of International Affairs at <raluca@umd.edu>.

Ross Lewin, PhD   
Associate Vice President for International Affairs
