During this community conversation, we will discuss advances in ethical and critical community-based global learning and research for more just, inclusive, and sustainable communities. Community-based global learning is a term developed by scholar-practitioners defined by community-driven learning and service; development of cultural humility; global citizenship; continuous and diverse forms of critically reflective practice; ongoing attention to power, privilege, and positionality throughout programming and coursework; deliberate and demonstrable learning; and safe, transparent, and well-managed programs.
Professor Mubichi-Kut is the Executive Director of the SMART (Student Multidisciplinary Applied Research Teams) program at Cornell. The SMART program is a unique service learning program that brings together multidisciplinary teams of graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and staff from across the university to address real-life challenges identified by small businesses, NGOs, community groups, and public institutions working within emerging markets.

DYSON SUMMER INTERNSHIP AND EXPERIENCE FUNDING APPLICATION!
Dyson Summer Internship Funding is a collection of funding awards provided by alumni donors, which provide financial support for students to participate in summer unpaid or minimally paid career-related experiences.
The goal of our Dyson Summer Internship Funding is to help financially offset the cost of participating in summer internships and experiences. The funding supports students with living expenses (including security deposits), daily transportation, and travel so that these essential career experiences are available to all Dyson students. We encourage any student who needs financial support to complete this application.
The maximum amount of funding available per student is $2,500 so that we can support multiple students. If you have extenuating circumstances and need additional funding, please provide additional documentation in your application.
