Here's an interesting tidbit...According to a press released recently issued by Indiana University, there are a record number of IU international centers that have been awarded $16 million in Title VI funding!
What does that mean to you? Well, in addition to the money being used for effectively using technology to teach courses from Bloomington to students in places as divergent as Thailand, South Africa, Spain and Scandinavia, they have also created and placed online teaching materials and dictionaries for less-frequently taught languages of Inner Asia and Africa. "We've got the infrastructure to do this because of what we've established here," O'Meara said.
Seven centers at IU Bloomington were designated as National Resource Centers (NRCs) and will receive funding for programs, faculty research, curriculum development, national conferences and outreach.
But it also means that some of that funding will be used to award more generous graduate fellowships to study any of the more than 50 foreign languages offered at IU.
