As provost fellow for internationalization, she works with individual faculty as well as administrative units to internationalize individual courses and develop a broader framework to support and encourage curricular and faculty internationalization across the university. She is happy to work with any faculty who might be interested in internationalizing their teaching or research or who might be looking for ways to highlight or further develop international work they are already doing.
