- Cultural Heritage, History, and Storytelling
- Resilient Built Environments and Economies
- Policy and Advocacy
- Public Health
Ways to collaborate
- Host an experiential learning opportunity: Consider hosting students for research or service projects, internships, or field excursions, and mentoring them on Gulf Impact Projects. Need funding? We are currently accepting proposals for student experiential learning opportunities. Learn more and apply.
- Serve as a guest speaker: Consider sharing your knowledge during a Gulf-focused course, public program, or cohort meeting.
- Have other ideas? We’re always open to exploring new ways to collaborate and drive impact together.
