The Reeves Scholars Program (RSP) was a reciprocal exchange between future teachers at Michigan State University (MSU) in the United States and at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana. From 2021-2025, it offered a close-knit learning community and international travel experiences that prepared future teachers to be open-minded, community-engaged, and globally-oriented leaders while strengthening their cross-cultural competence in and beyond their classrooms.
In 2009, the College of Education created a Fellowship program to send a group of graduate students to China for three weeks of immersion in Chinese academic culture at the Southwest University, Beibei Chongqing. In 2011, the college formally expanded the FEGU program to include faculty-led programs to China, Botswana, and Vietnam. Since 2011, faculty have also led groups to Cyprus, Indonesia, Mexico, Cuba, and the Netherlands. The college provided support for the Fellowship programs to further the mission of promoting global perspectives on educational cultures, policies, and practices.
The most recent program was offered in the 2022-23 academic year. This fellowship was led by Professors Dorinda Carter Andrews and Terry Flennaugh and focused on race and colonization in global contexts.
This funded fellowship provided an opportunity for teams of faculty and graduate students to think about how to revise or develop a current College of Education course in ways that strengthened global and international perspectives. The fellowship included participation in a seminar series with opportunities for graduate students to collaborate in small groups with faculty. GCF was last offered in 2021-2022.
