Program Goal
Our goal is to integrate additional partners into a consortium to extend to the undergraduate level a joint transatlantic program in nonprofit and philanthropic studies based, in part, on the current model existing between Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the University of Bologna.
