That was the headline on a Feb. 3 story in USA Today about Colgate’s faculty trip to India.
“As improvements in communication technology bring the world closer together, one university is taking the unusual step of sending its faculty overseas in the hope that they will pass on new ideas to their students. Colgate University, a private, liberal arts college located in upstate New York, recently sent its faculty members to India in an effort to improve their curriculum.”
President Herbst was quoted on further internationalizing the Colgate curriculum and the Mellon Foundation credited for partially funding the trip. The story featured two of the many photos taken along the way by professor Christopher Henke. On Jan. 19, the trip was mentioned in two New York Times blogs, The Choice and India Ink, reaching prospective students and their families across the globe. Faculty members continue to post to the Reflections from India blog. Let us know what you think.
