About the Office of Global Engagement
Under the leadership of Neil R. McCrillis, Vice Provost for Global Engagement (VPGE), and his dedicated team in the Office of Global Engagement, UIC has made significant strides toward making this vision a reality.

The Director of International Affairs and Outreach also reports to the VPGE.
