The Office of Global Engagement works closely with faculty and friends on a number of projects to internationalize our university. As part of this partnership, faculty and friends have the opportunity to join with OGE in its activities. OGE recognizes these contributions by providing them with the title of Global Affiliate. Global Affiliates serve on various OGE committees and promote OGE throughout the campus and the world.
