Nominations being accepted for Wisconsin Without Borders
In alignment with its mission, Wisconsin Without Borders (WWB) is soliciting nominations of outstanding examples of globally engaged scholarship by members of the UW–Madison community. To be considered, applications should describe projects involving collaboration between faculty, students, university staff, and non-academic partners that address a problem identified by community members.
Awards will be offered in three categories – (1) faculty/academic staff, (2) graduate students, and (3) undergraduate students. Applicants in both categories may be nominated individually or as a group for a joint project. Faculty/academic staff and graduate students may apply on behalf of the same project, but students must demonstrate contributions independent of the faculty/staff member(s). The award amount will average $500 to $1000 per project. The number of awards offered will be determined by the selection committee. Award winners are expected to be willing to serve on the selection committee for a subsequent year’s awards process.
Application deadline is 11:59pm on Wednesday, March 15, 2017.
Application Process
Individuals may apply on their own behalves or nominate someone else. All applications will be expected to include (1) a completed information form and (2) a response to the following prompts:
Please describe:
- The project and your role within it;
- The impact of the project on the community;
- How the project meets the principles of community engagement (service learning, community-based research, outreach, or other responsive work); and, How the service and/or research is applicable to the larger global community outside of the target population.
