Global Engagement Powers Student Success, Research, and Community Impact

We believe that global engagement is essential to preparing students for the future, advancing discovery, and creating shared opportunity. By fostering the exchange of perspectives and connections between Arizona and the world, we help:

• Empower every student to thrive in a globalized world through immersive and accessible international learning experiences.
• Drive research that shapes the future by supporting cross-border collaboration on shared global challenges such as water scarcity and energy production.
• Create opportunity through community engagement, linking international scholars and students with Arizona communities and industries to spark innovation and new possibilities.

Global engagement is more than an initiative; it is integral to how the University of Arizona fulfills our land-grant mission.
