Intercultural Learning Programs in the United States Provide Global Perspectives for Students
Weihong Du, associate professor of Asian studies (Chinese), led a group of seven students on a two-week trip to the San Francisco area to examine early Chinese immigration, particularly through Angel Island, a historical entry point for Asian Americans. The project was supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, "Local Contexts, Global Connections: Revitalizing Immersive Cultural and Language Study at Home." The Stellyes Center for Global Study and other sources also provided funding for the projects that provided students with experiences typically associated with study abroad. Such trips are opportunities for students to get on-the-ground cultural and linguistic skills that they may not learn in a classroom. In recent years, however, many students were unable to participate in study abroad; the pandemic limited overseas travel.
