Enhancements made to the program last academic year through a U.S. Department of Education grant included Webcam integration into courses, student-to-student engagement, expanded training and mentoring opportunities for faculty and improved GVF nomination and request procedures. In addition, an FDU Faculty and GVF member workshop was held on the Wroxton campus in England.
