One Technology, Three Ways to Bring Global Education Home

Wednesday, May 28, 2025
8:15 AM – 9:05 AM PST
By studying internationally, students leave their comfort zones and challenge their assumptions helping them learn to engage in a multicultural world. To provide this same opportunity for campus-bound students, Virginia Tech is developing a technology toolkit aimed to make global engagement come alive for students in the U.S., support the continuity of long-term community engagement projects, and showcase the importance of study abroad to campus. Attendees learn how to develop this toolkit and leverage it for virtual exchanges, community engagement, and program marketing.

This session was selected as the Region VIII Highlight.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify available technology that can help make global engagement come alive for students in the U.S.
  • Discover innovative ways to shepherd long-term community engagement projects.
  • Develop a collaborative approach to showcase impact and importance of study abroad to the greater campus community.
