THE POWER OF COLLABORATION TO ADVANCE EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN GLOBAL EDUCATION

Too often, the responsibility of providing inclusive support for students falls on a single office, person, and/or faculty member. While many practitioners in international education and exchange recognize and vocalize the importance of developing collaborative partnerships across campus and/or an organization, collaboration across institutional/organizational units is either not common practice or cursory. How can we harness the power of collaboration across units to advance equity and inclusion within global education? How can developing partnerships with CDOs and SIOs help increase buy-in for the importance of global education experiences? How can support for international students be enhanced with thoughtful partnerships developed within our institutions and local communities? How might global education organizations coordinate across departments to ensure inclusive practices from advising to curriculum of course offerings?
