Global Integrated Learning & Design (GILD) is an initiative designed to encourage and support faculty in creating course-based experiential learning and/or co-curricular research opportunities that enhance students’ capacities to engage in complex problems. Tufts faculty will partner with faculty or staff in a university or organization in another country to design a learning experience as part of their course or research program, and students collaborate to meet the learning objectives through a variety of techniques. This initiative is jointly supported by The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT), Tufts Global Education, and the Office of the Provost.To learn more visit: go.tufts/edu/facultygild.
