Workshops
Faculty Engagement
Faculty engagement is a core strategic priority of ºÚÁϳԹÏ's comprehensive internationalization initiatives. Throughout the academic year, International Affairs offers personalized professional development, teaching effectiveness, and service workshops and training for faculty from all disciplines. The purpose of these workshops is to support the myriad ways faculty can incorporate global engagement and learning into their existing coursework and research, or propose new global programs.
aims to connect ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï faculty involved in transborder initiatives (research and/or teaching) with new faculty colleagues who are planning on doing so. Interested faculty can ask questions, hear about opportunities, and brainstorm ideas, and then have time for questions and discussion regarding transborder collaborations. The event will showcase the transborder work of our faculty members. The presentations are intended to provide context, guidance, and recommendations for faculty who may be thinking of transborder collaborations.
International Community Engagement and Service Learning at ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï connects students with meaningful global and cross-border experiences that combine academic learning with real-world impact. Through faculty-led global seminars, international internships, sustainability-focused programs, and service-learning courses, students can earn academic credit while building practical skills, cultural awareness, and a strong sense of civic responsibility. These hands-on opportunities reflect ºÚÁϳԹÏ’s commitment to community engagement and help prepare students to become globally minded leaders in their careers and communities.
At ºÚÁϳԹÏ, the recognizes undergraduate courses intentionally designed to connect academic study with meaningful global learning experiences. GL-designated courses require all sections to integrate at least one ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Global Learning Outcome into the course’s academic objectives, include a minimum of 15 hours of global learning engagement, and devote at least 15% of the course grade to the global learning component. These experiences may include international events, research, internships, study abroad, COIL projects, or work in the local or transborder community, all tied directly to course content and supported by ongoing critical reflection. Through this designation, ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï helps students engage multiple perspectives, deepen intercultural understanding, and prepare to address issues that cross national and cultural boundaries.
