Global Symposium
The Global Symposium is an opportunity to share your global work on a professional platform and to connect with a community that believes strongly in the power and impact of global learning and international education.
Faculty, staff, and students from all corners of campus gather at the annual Global Symposium to discuss their latest innovations, new strategies, and best practices in global engagement. Showcase your global work and learn new ideas for your professional practice as we celebrate and advance our shared commitment to global engagement.
