Help your students earn the global medallion

Prepare your students for success in an increasingly globalized world by supporting their involvement in the International Scholars Program (ISP). ISP is designed to enhance and reinforce classroom learning with intercultural and international experiences that broaden students' perspectives and enrich their academic journey. The program also requires students to reflect on their in-class and extracurricular international involvement by creating an ePortfolio, helping them to connect their in-class learning to their career goals and to put their personal, professional, and academic milestones into words.

Whether you lead a study abroad program, facilitate a virtual exchange, or include international topics and perspectives in your teaching, the ISP will encourage your students to go deeper and farther with these topics, developing the cultural competencies, critical thinking skills, and global mindset that are highly sought after by employers. By promoting ISP to your students, you are not only supporting their academic and career ambitions but also fostering a generation of globally-minded leaders ready to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

Ways to Connect your Class with ISP

  • Share information with your students

    These resources can be shared in Canvas modules, announcements, or any other way that works for your class: download resources. 

  • Schedule a class visit

    ISP representatives are happy to visit your class to tell your students about the program and answer questions. Contact the coordinator, Taylor Simpson (tsimpson@ufic.ufl.edu) to schedule.

  • Create an ePortfolio assignment for your class or study abroad program

    ePortfolios are a great way to help students reflect on their learning in your course or study abroad program. Explore the catalog for examples and ideas.  See examples.

If you would like to support incorporating ePortfolios into your class or study abroad contact the coordinator, Taylor Simpson (tsimpson@ufic.ufl.edu). Whether you are new to ePortfolios and would like help creating an assignment or need a workshop to guide your students in setting up their ePortfolios, we are happy to help!
