The Global Center at 7 Mellen is bustling with activity this fall. New exchange agreements with Centennial College in Hong Kong, SoGang in South Korea, and Osaka Commerce University in Japan, were recently signed — and we already expect several students from Sogang to join us in January. The Urban Scholars have a new home as part of the Global Center joining CLAS foreign language faculty and interns from the International Higher Education/Intercultural Relations program. The global center has become a multi-cultural, multi-lingual home for a community of global scholars, and we are eager to grow and expand our programs and supports. On Wednesday evening, October 8th the center hosted a social gathering for international students. In addition, we’re in the process of hiring a new Director of International Student Recruitment and Success for the Global Center. We look forward to extending our reach further for comprehensive internationalization.
