The second section presents a summary of project activities and outcomes, including the following: (1) the formation of the Southern Michigan Community Colleges Consortium for International Education; (2) the development by 31 faculty members of 31 international modules to be infused into a wide variety of courses in 18 disciplines; (3) the production and distribution of "Internationalizing the Curriculum," a volume including the instructional modules; (4) international colloquia and workshops conducted at each of the participating colleges; (5) activities with international themes; (6) international exchanges and travel/study abroad programs, including overseas living and work experiences in Kenya and Japan and an interdisciplinary study-tour in Mexico; (7) the development of an International Studies certificate and association degree at Kalamazoo Valley, Jackson, and Kellogg community colleges; and (8) the purchase of a variety of international materials. The third section summarizes challenges, pitfalls, rewards, and the future outlook of the project.
