UIC Law Professor Sarah Davila has been nominated and selected to join the inaugural cohort of the UIC Network for Global Scholarship, Research, and Creative Activity, an initiative designed to highlight the institutions work in these areas. The network will be composed of faculty members who have had a demonstrated major impact on international research, scholarship, and creative activity in their discipline.
The goal of the initiative is two-fold: to encourage international research collaborations across UIC and to encourage other UIC faculty members who are launching or expanding their globally focused work to learn from colleagues who are active and successful international researchers.
