Purdue-Colombia Partnership for Scaling Inclusive, Sustainable, and Transformative Engineering Study Abroad Experiences

Purdue University proposes an integrated plan of investment, cooperation, and assessment to increase the annual number of Purdue engineering students who undertake semester or longer experiences in Latin America, and particularly in Colombia. The Purdue‐Colombia partnership will address the special needs of minority engineering students and increase the number of internship and research opportunities that can help transform their study abroad experiences. Through the Innovation Fund grant, Purdue will build on its strategic strengths and use the synergy and network of connections in Colombia as a launching pad to scale up inclusive, sustainable, and transformative study abroad experiences for both U.S. and Colombian students in the partnership.
