About
Shawn Conner-Rondot joined the UIC Office of Global Engagement on April 16, 2022. Prior to joining UIC, Conner-Rondot held administrative positions at Indiana University for more than 15 years, most recently as an Associate Director in the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs. Previously, he administered the Title VI-funded Center for International Business Education and Research at the Kelley School of Business.
Conner-Rondot has been involved in multiple national-level programs. He was a participant in the historic delegation to Cuba from October 25 to November 1, 2015, led by the Institute of International Education, part of IIE’s Cuba Higher Education Initiative to cultivate relationships and explore areas of academic cooperation. In early 2020, prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. State Department selected Conner-Rondot to facilitate training of administrators in Russian universities on international partnership development. In May 2022, he was selected to participate as a Fellow in the U.S.-ASEAN University Connections Initiative (UCI), a White House initiative announced during the U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit.
He is an active member of the Association for International Administrators and NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
Conner-Rondot completed his PhD at Indiana University in education policy studies, with a concentration in international and comparative education and a minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. His research agenda includes comparative education law across the Americas, the sociology of law (the interaction between law, legal/non-legal institutions, and social factors) and education, and postsecondary education policy studies.
