UW Bothell offers grants supporting international course collaborations
UW Bothell is spearheading a UW-wide effort to deepen global engagement of students in the classroom by supporting online collaborations with international partners.

The initiative is overseen by Global Initiatives and funded by a Mellon Foundation Area and International Studies Initiative grant.
