With the move to online instruction and disruption to travel-based courses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, students are turning to technology-supported global experiences. At the same time, NGOs around the world are struggling to support our most vulnerable populations, seeking new partnerships and growth possibilities. Through the University at Buffalo Experiential Learning Network (ELN), we are connecting these two areas of opportunity—global experiences and NGO partnerships, through mentored virtual projects. Students engage in our Project Portal at their own pace at no additional cost, eliminating traditional barriers to access and encouraging students from all areas of study and background to participate in high-impact projects.
