We are working with partners in Ecuador, Egypt, and Ghana to develop unique opportunities for students to work together to enhance patient care and community-based health education programs,” Deborah Wilson-Allam, executive director of Utica College’s Office of International Education, said.

In addition to the IDEAS grant competition, the program also offers opportunities for faculty, staff, and administrators at U.S. colleges and universities to participate in a series of free virtual and in-person study abroad capacity building activities.
