Description
This program supports faculty from the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) and the Associated Colleges of the Midwest to undertake travel to Japan, within Japan, or to other East Asian countries for projects directly tied to the study of Japan. The grant is intended to foster the development of new courses on Japan or to enhance existing courses with Japan-related content.
