What is Global Engagement?
Global Engagement fosters a collaborative environment through formal institutional partnerships and smaller-scale partnerships by faculty and students.
Partnerships may span academic and research opportunities and industry partnerships through alumni. It recognizes the importance of reciprocity, ensuring all parties benefit.
The goal is to use these partnerships to utilize our strategic location and expand the university’s global reach, enhance education and research, and tackle global challenges through shared resources and knowledge.
Building on John Huzik's (2011) Comprehensive Internationalization model, UWindsor aims to integrate global perspectives across all functions.
