Hello campus communicators, The Center for Global Engagement offers several funding opportunities for faculty, staff, and students through the Global Catalyst Grant Program. The grants are intended to provide partial support that will help build Tennessee’s connections to international colleagues and institutional partners. They interlink Tennessee with the world beyond US borders and support international activities on UT’s campus. I encourage you to spread the word to your faculty, staff, and student audiences!
