The Office of Global Strategies and International Affairs is committed to fostering student-centered communities that offer academic, cultural, social, and professional support. 

We welcome all students interested in connecting with their peers through strengths-based leadership development and skill-building opportunities, all with an international and global focus. 

Students are invited to participate in collaborative, community-based projects, mentoring, service activities, or simply drop by to connect with us!
