The work of the Lender Center for Social Justice will now have a global dimension as the result of a partnership with Syracuse Abroad.
Through a new initiative called Lender Global, each year one of the University’s abroad centers will be designated as the Lender Global Partner. In addition, three research fellowships will be awarded to students studying at that location.
Lender Global begins in Spring 2025 at Syracuse London with a focus on social and environmental justice. The student fellows will examine the themes of biodiversity and the rights of nature; climate justice for people of the global majority; and meaningful engagement with ethical travel.
Assistant Provost and Syracuse Abroad Executive Director Erika Wilkens says, “We are pleased to partner with the Lender Center on this innovative concept that enhances our current programming and supports experiential learning, innovative research and human thriving. It’s an excellent way for students to include unique research opportunities while they study abroad.”
