How to Join the ACES Global Academy

Application Process

The Office of International Programs has opened the competition for our sixth Academy for Global Engagement. We strongly encourage the junior faculty and faculty in disciplines which do not traditionally participate in international work to consider taking part in this year's program. The theme for this year is "Food Security and Nutrition" with a regional focus on Rwanda and Kenya.

Download the 2011-2012 application.

All applications are due on August 10, 2011.

Selection Process

Scholars will be selected on the basis of their application materials, interviews, and consultation with department heads.

An interview committee made up of a member of the International Programs Policy Committee, a senior fellow of the Academy, and an Office of International Programs staff member will hold interviews and select the class.

Successful candidates will be sent an appointment letter and a commitment statement that outlines their obligations and the consequences of not completing portions of the program. Each scholar and his/her department head will sign the commitment statement at the onset of the year-long program.
