President’s Award for Global Learning Powers Multidisciplinary Team
The 2018-19 President’s Award for Global Learning was the inaugural program of the International Board of Advisors at the University of Texas at Austin. Through the President’s Office, the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, and Texas Global, the program was created to educate global leaders and participate in a cross-cultural experience to increase the global engagement of UT Austin.
A highly interdisciplinary team composed of three faculty members, four undergraduates and two graduate assistants spanning nine colleges created a comprehensive needs assessment of low-income communities in Puebla, Mexico.
