Partners of the Americas Grant Funds Trip to Ecuador for Boise State Faculty

Two Boise State faculty members will visit universities in Ecuador later this month thanks to a grant from Partners of the Americas. Department of Nursing faculty Ingrid Brudenell and Molly Vaughan Prengaman will provide workshops on curriculum and teaching strategies at the Universidad Catolica de Cuenca and the Escuela Superior Politecnica del Chimborazo in Riobamba. They will also meet with the leadership of these universities and the Universidad Nacional del Chimborazo in Riobamba to develop memoranda of agreement for future faculty and student exchanges.

Partners of the Americas brings together citizen volunteers from Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States to improve the lives of people across the hemisphere. The POA Idaho chapter has been integral in the development of this particular project.
