DePaul University's Global Engagement Division- Mission Statement
DePaul University’s Global Engagement provides campus-wide leadership and collaboration in support of DePaul’s global initiatives, partnerships and programs.
Our mission is to facilitate transformative global learning and cross-cultural engagement opportunities for all students, faculty and staff across the university, and to promote intercultural competence and understanding. Global Engagement provides the infrastructure for university-wide collaboration across academic disciplines, departments and partnering organizations.
Virtual Exchange experts from DePaul's Global Learning Experience Program offer multi-level support to institutions (and individuals) interested in the creation or expansion of their virtual exchange offers/programs:
- Introduction to virtual exchange sessions (online or in-person)
- Customized workshops (online or in-person)
- Professional faculty development workshop on Virtual Exchange Design and Implementation, offered online, twice per year. This workshop trains professors interested in implementing virtual exchange projects in their classes, by exposing them to the main features of VE pedagogy, while gaining direct experience with the tools, techniques, challenges and opportunities encountered during a VE project. Through this workshop participants are able to address the planning and implementation of virtual exchange projects from multiple perspectives: technological, pedagogical, linguistic, and intercultural.
