NOVA’s Office of International Education & Sponsored Programs and CAORC (the Council of American Overseas Research Centers) has partnered to present Going Global, Growing Global: New Models for Internationalization at Community Colleges. This online symposium highlighting innovative college internationalization efforts and partnerships during the pandemic will be held on Thursday and Friday, April 8 and 9, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. There is No cost to register or attend.
This two-day online symposium brings together faculty, administrators and organizations involved in community college international education to discuss how today’s unprecedented challenges require educators to re-imagine the relevance, priorities and methods of their internationalization efforts. Special attention will be given to the critical importance of enhancing global and intercultural competency through curriculum development, engaging international students and overseas campuses in growing global awareness, and the essential role of on-line technology and virtual exchange in broadening access to global experiences. The symposium is organized and hosted by Northern Virginia Community College and the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC).
