Leverage Georgia Tech's Global Engagement Submitted by Phil McKnight on Thursday November 12, at 1:23 pm
"What country will you work in after you graduate?":
--Prepare students to work and intergrate themselves in other countries and cultures
Erasmus plan for Georgia Tech:
--students can earn up to one year's worth of credit from a partner university abroad
Global footprints:
--while relations with China and India remain important, the next focus will be on Africa and Eastern Europe--but also consider Russia and South America, all as locations where GIT needs to develop viable partners.
Opportunity: although GT graduates more African-American engineers than any other university, basically none of them study/work abroad. Increase minority participation in international experiences (for example, introduce Swahili to encourage more exchange programs in Sub-Sahara Africa).
Expand International Plan outreach abroad as a springboard to strengthen participation abroad at a high quality level
