The session takes place on Tuesday, November 19, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Terrace Room. A group of 2019-2020 grant recipients will share their projects and discuss the ways in which their funding can (or did, or will) infuse a greater sense of internationalization, diversity and inclusion into the University community. Refreshments will be served.
