What We Do

The Office of Global Engagement supports UIC’s Strategy for Global Engagement and Internationalization. OGE collaborates with colleges and departments across UIC to expand the opportunities for faculty and students to engage in global learning and research. UIC’s vision is to serve the citizens of Chicago and the world by being an international leader in research, scholarship, and innovation, and by creating a globally connected campus community which supports faculty, staff, and students as they address the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

Who We Are

The Office of Global Engagement has four reporting units. The Vice Provost for Global Engagement chairs the International Advisory Council which oversees global engagement through committees such as International Students and Scholars, Campus Internationalization, Study Abroad and International Research and Scholarship.
