The GLCA is pleased to host a summit on Re-Imagining International Engagement. This summit, by invitation only, will take place October 24-26 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We are excited to announce that the speakers and facilitators have been secured for this important event. They will contribute to the thinking, planning, and collaborative work of the teams each campus sends.
The pandemic, climate change, and disruption of the global supply chain are only the most recent reminders of global interdependence and the sometimes-opaque connections between the local and the global. Internationalization of the curriculum and co-curriculum, study away, international student enrollment, international partnerships, and engagement with diversity in local communities are higher education’s embrace of this reality. There are emergent forces reshaping how our schools think about and do international engagement. The summit on re-imagining international engagement will explore these forces and innovative ways to respond to them with an eye toward opportunities for sharing and collaboration across the GLCA.
