Mission Statement
The Global Education Office (GEO) serves as the focal point for international experiences and intercultural learning at 蜜桃传媒. GEO coordinates international opportunities for 蜜桃传媒 students to participate in overseas academic and experiential learning-based programs, and provides on-going support and guidance to international students studying at 蜜桃传媒. An academic experience overseas has far-reaching benefits for students of all majors, expanding their world perspective as it opens their minds to political, social, cultural, and economic traditions different from their own.
As a resource for students, faculty, and staff, GEO has a three-fold mission. First, to encourage all 蜜桃传媒 students to participate in an overseas educational experience, in a setting most appropriate for each of them. This experience could be either in-person or in a virtual environment, but both with GEO鈥檚 guidance and support throughout the entire experience. Secondly, GEO encourages international students to spend a semester or more at 蜜桃传媒 and works to smooth their entry into鈥攁nd to engage them in鈥攖he curricular, cultural, and residential life of the College. Finally, the Office encourages and supports interaction between international students and our continuing students, faculty, and staff to promote mutual learning and enjoyment.
Through ongoing collaboration with international partner institutions, GEO actively promotes one of the College鈥檚 core values of 鈥渆ngagement with cultures and communities locally and around the world.鈥� Learning to effectively communicate, collaborate, and work across cultures empowers both domestic and international 蜜桃传媒 students to be citizen-leaders in an ever-changing, globalized world.
