In Spring 2015, the IWL offered its initial Faculty Grants for Development and Travel. This Round Table session showcased the funded projects for both Spring and Fall 2015 and gave recipients the opportunity to share their work in a conference-like poster session. Their projects were varied and covered topics from E- portfolio development to research on pronunciation strategies. We also hope that these successful projects inspired others to apply for the next round of grants (due Feb. 15).
The IWL Grant Exhibition was held on Friday, February 5, 2016 from 3-4:30pm in New Cabell Hall 299A.
