The School of Education promotes a conceptualization of education, research, and public service that spans international borders, has global reach, and embraces open inquiry, innovation, and social justice. The goal of this committee is to ensure well-coordinated international initiatives and opportunities that span research and practice and that have administrative, faculty, staff, graduate student, and undergraduate student participation.
Global Education initiatives will occur on campus, as well as nationally and internationally. A focus on global awareness and critical inquiry is central to the School of Education and to the activities of the Global Education Committee (GEC). GEC aims to foster connections and collaboration across departments and programs within the School of Education and connect with broader conversations and initiatives about global education. A primary goal is to support visibility to all and inclusion for all.
This committee serves as an advisory group to the Dean and is composed of one faculty member from each School of Education academic department, representatives from PLACE, IAP, and WCER, a co-chair seat for a faculty member, and a co-chair seat for the Special Assistant to the Dean on Global Education.
The GEC is pleased to offer funding to School of Education faculty and academic staff for global initiatives and research for the current academic year, and funding for graduate students presenting their own work at conferences outside the United States.
