Mission
Our mission is to foster a sense of international community that builds on the University's strong intellectual and Catholic mission. Global Strategies coordinates and facilitates University-wide global education by sponsoring international exchanges of students and faculty and serving as a resource for departments and schools on campus that undertake international initiatives. In coordinating international initiatives, Global Strategies advances the international character of the University by promoting, supporting, and developing a wide range of international and intercultural educational opportunities for members of the community.
Initiatives
- Restructure the Grant-in-Aid program to offer international opportunities for our full-time faculty. Call for proposals will be issued annually and the most promising projects will be funded.

- Map our current presence abroad and establishing new international partnerships to offer opportunities for our faculty and students.
- Organize annual International Fairs to provide faculty and graduate students the opportunities to meet those who have been abroad and share their experiences.
