The trip was sponsored by the Burroughs Welcome Fund (BWF) Scholars Program (which Ms. Krasutsky is a member of), in partnership with the University of North Carolina system and four UNC universities, including UNC Asheville. The program’s goal is to better prepare science and mathematics teachers for N.C. public school classrooms by increasing teacher confidence and competence in providing students with the skills to successfully navigate through a globalized and interconnected world. Go Global NC and Education NC lead the trip.
