Inclusive Excellence Research Grant
Higher education seeks to serve a variety of faculty, staff and students in a world including greater diversity of thought, global connections, experiences, and cultures. To understand the impact diversity has on an institution’s constituents, research is necessary to explore campus practices, policies, infrastructure, and procedures. More specifically, research is needed to understand how to foster the development of one’s learning skills when working with people from different backgrounds, demographics, and perspectives. Such efforts will help members of the Georgia College & State University community develop and thrive in an ever-changing world.
Grant Amount: Up to $4,000.00
