Enhancing and Expanding Global Connect

For more than 50 years, the College of ACES has incorporated an international dimension to its activities. ACES Global Connect aims to promote the most effective use of faculty, department, college, and external resources to support and strengthen the international dimension of research, teaching, and outreach activities in the college, bringing international activities into all facets of the college’s missions. Funding will allow the college to expand its current opportunities for faculty and students to experience other cultures and establish research and teaching connections between the college and other countries throughout the world. Our goal is to be globally preeminent, locally relevant.
