GIEU seeks to develop new and innovative approaches to teaching and learning that place a University of Michigan education in a vibrant global context here in Ann Arbor and around the world. In 2009, students and faculty traveled to 14 sites in New Zealand, Lakota, Indonesia, India, Hawai'i, Ghana, Viet Nam, Peru, Ghana, Ecuador, China, and Bkejwanong First Nation. At Symposium, students showcase capstone projects developed from their field site experiences. Students and faculty can also obtain information regarding applying to participate in 2010.
