The Global Education Committee's focus is to bring awareness of global issues to our campus. The committee seeks to promote relationships with international businesses in the region, build a database of student projects and global resources, encourage foreign language study and international travel, and provide professional development opportunities for faculty and staff to be exposed to global content.
The Global Education Committee meets during the fall and spring semesters. Minutes are available on the Teams Sharepoint Site. All are welcome to attend.
