Tyler Center for Global Studies, hosted at Florida State University, names 12 partner institutions
The national Tyler Center for Global Studies, hosted and coordinated by Florida State University, has named 12 partner institutions who will act as a network of schools that connect undergraduate students across the country with international research and global inquiry.
William H. Tyler III established the Tyler Center for Global Studies in 2022 with the goal of encouraging undergraduate students to pursue global research to positively shape the future. Since 2022, the Tyler Center for Global Studies has awarded 49 students across the United States with funding to conduct international research.
“The Tyler Center believes that the issues and challenges facing society today are more global in nature than ever before, and that the key to successfully meeting and overcoming these challenges hinges on building an awareness of and appreciation for global solutions,” said Tyler, who passed away in 2024.
“FSU is proud to coordinate the Tyler Center Network, and to work with partner institutions who share our commitment to global education and research.”
– Joe O’Shea, FSU associate provost and dean of Undergraduate Studies
In addition to FSU, Tyler Center grants totaling $222,000 will be awarded to Austin Community College, Johns Hopkins University, Monroe Community College, SUNY Oneonta, Syracuse University, University of California-San Diego, University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, University of Missouri-Kansas City, University of Texas at Austin, University of Washington and William & Mary.
“FSU is proud to coordinate the Tyler Center Network, and to work with partner institutions who share our commitment to global education and research,” FSU Associate Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Studies Joe O’Shea said. “We look forward to working with other Tyler schools to support even more students as they engage in important work and learning abroad.”
As the host institution, FSU coordinates the Tyler Center Grant Program, where public and private post-secondary institutions can apply for a grant from the Tyler Center. Undergraduate students from these respective institutions can then apply to become a Tyler Fellow and receive funding to conduct international research.
