Resources
A rich and fulfilling college experience expands beyond the classroom. The Global Engagement Office provides opportunities for our students, staff, and faculty to explore the world around them and to bring the world into classrooms and course content.
The Global Education Committee (GEC) is a Dean’s advisory committee that provides guidance on global issues for the School of Education. GEC members also review applications for certain graduate student travel awards and for Seed Funding available to staff and faculty.
Any School of Education (SoE) students, staff, and faculty planning international travel should complete the SoE International Travel Form using their NetID.
The UW-Madison campus provides guidance on international travel, campus safety and security, and helpful know-before-you-go guidance.
The Global Education Committee
The Global Education Committee promotes a conceptualization of education, research, and public service that spans international borders, has global reach, and embraces open inquiry, innovation, and social justice. The goal of this committee is to ensure well-coordinated international initiatives and opportunities that span research and practice and that have administrative, faculty, staff, graduate student and undergraduate student participation.
An overview of the faculty and staff seed funding opportunity available through the Global Education Committee can be found here.
SoE International Travel Form
School of Education faculty, staff, and students who participate in international travel (outside the United States) that involves academic work and/or financial sponsorship or assistance by the University (but that is not a UW-Madison sponsored program such as an IAP Study Abroad program) are encouraged to complete the School of Education International Travel Form. If you have any questions about this form, please contact our office at global@education.wisc.edu.
Faculty-Led Study Abroad Course Development
School of Education faculty and academic staff are encouraged to work with GEO on the development of new study abroad courses and programs.
Global Perspectives in Coursework and Programming
The Global Engagement Office works with faculty, instructors, and staff to infuse course offerings with global perspectives and create programs for international visitors.
