As part of its ongoing efforts to internationalize the campus and the curriculum, JCCC provides opportunities for faculty members to participate in international professional conferences and exchange programs that enhance their knowledge and understanding of other cultures.

Support for professional international travel is available up to an institutional maximum of $1,500.00. Full-time faculty/staff and adjunct professors with at least four semesters at JCCC may seek support from their departments and the Staff Development Office, as well as from an International Travel Grant available through the International Education Office. For an application, click on the following: International Grant Application

The highest priority in funding decisions will be given to opportunities that result in serious professional development; have classroom, job, or curricular impact; and further institutional goals. Personal travel, while often beneficial, cannot be funded through college sources.

Faculty who receive International Travel Grants share their experiences with the JCCC community at the monthly International Roundtable series on campus as well as through articles in the International Education newsletter. To read recent articles, click on the following: Faculty Articles
