What is the Global Engagement community?

The Global Engagement community is an active, hands-on learning and research environment that allows you to engage with diverse cultures, languages, histories, and lifeways across the world. Our paths of study lead to many options for real-world careers in such areas as migration and refugee studies, food studies, global health, world cinema, digital media, gender and economic development, and culture and aesthetics. We explore issues through an interdisciplinary curriculum, innovative language learning, and abundant opportunities outside the classroom.
