Deadline: May 25
The UMB Center for Global Engagement, along with the InterAmerican Center for Global Health and the University of Maryland, College Park, will be accepting applications for an immersive professional development program in Costa Rica. Applications open April 13 and close May 25.
A select cohort of UMB and UMD faculty, post-doctoral, and staff members will work to globalize courses, modules, tracks, clinical electives, or cocurricular programs. The purpose of this program is to develop global education opportunities for students enrolled in UMB and UMD degree programs.
From December 12-19, 2026, selected fellows will engage in a series of interactive workshops on topics such as learning design and assessment, strategies to globalize curricula, ethical global engagement, and other topics. Applicants must propose a global course, module, track, clinical elective, or co-curricular program that they will design in collaboration with skilled trainers during the workshop.
