Global Initiatives

Our Mission | transformative experiences and collaboration

The Office of Global Initiatives creates, encourages, and maintains global learning opportunities that prepare and empower students to become engaged citizens of a diverse world. We support these transformative experiences through our curriculum, our student services, and our external partnerships and exchanges.

The Intersection of local and global

The Global Initiatives office aims to deliver exceptional global experiences for domestic students via our evolving study-away offerings for international students wanting to enroll in any of our more than 40 degree programs and ESL classes, and for foreign institutions wanting to explore partnerships for academic programs, ESL, virtual exchanges, and more.

The office also helps support Internationalization at Home initiatives around the Tompkins Cortland campus and helps faculty and departments internationalize their curricula.
