    Humanity and Resilience: Minority Serving Institutions in the Age of Coronavirus
    Gasman, Marybeth; Jones, Brandy (Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions, 2020-04-07)
    The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has thrown higher education into a time of uncertainty. Many scholars and pundits are making dire predictions about the future of tuition-driven colleges and universities, including most Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This report highlights some of the many actions of MSIs in the midst of COVID-19 – actions on the part of presidents, faculty, student affairs professionals, students, and others. These actions are organized in sections related to community outreach, communication, technology, mental health, basic needs support, and curricula. Hopefully they will inspire others to act in the most humane ways toward students, faculty, staff, and beyond.

    Transforming Faculty-led Study Abroad for Minority Serving Institution Students
    Blake, Daniel; Esmieu, Paola 'Lola'; Gasman, Marybeth; Abraham, Keshia; Jones, Brandy (The Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania, 2019-06-01)
    Faculty members are key stakeholders as they have the potential to create faculty-led programs and recruit students to study abroad. They are essential in promoting and encouraging the internationalization of institutions and curricula. However, faculty members themselves are often not encouraged to participate in study abroad (Esmieu et al., 2016). This report illuminates the significance of faculty-led study abroad using research from the Project Passport International Faculty Development Seminar.
