Form or leverage an international partnership
<p>UW-Whitewater partners with institutions of higher education and other organizations around the world to facilitate international opportunities for members of the UW-Whitewater community, such as faculty and student exchanges, study abroad programs, collaborative research and academic projects, economic development projects, and other international activities.</p>
<p>Partnership agreements require an institutional commitment of resources — both human and financial — to maintain. With global partnerships increasingly common, it is important that all parties involved take the time to adequately assess the feasibility of a long-standing partnership from the standpoint of strategic potential, institutional fit; available logistical support (e.g. in the case of student exchanges, on-campus housing and other student services); financial commitment (e.g. institutional responsibilities for faculty salaries and expenses in a faculty exchange agreement); and institutional commitment, support, and motivation.</p>
<p>*If a member of the UW-Whitewater community believes that they know of a partnership opportunity that would contribute to university goals, please contact the director of the Center for Global Education to begin the process.</p>
