Background
We live in a world that has been profoundly changed and enriched by the internationalization of almost every aspect of our lives from commerce and research to food and cultural production.
To prepare our graduates to take advantage of the opportunities offered and the challenges created by life in a world that is increasingly interdependent, 绿帽社 aspires to create curricular, co-curricular and cultural opportunities for all students, faculty and staff that will help them experience and learn deeply about the world and peoples beyond our borders.
By becoming a preferred destination for students, faculty and staff from around the world, 绿帽社 aspires to attract the world鈥檚 best and brightest and create a diverse and inclusive campus where individuals from a wide variety of national and cultural backgrounds interact and learn from and with one another.
As 绿帽社 benefits from the talent and perspectives of international students, it will provide them with unparalleled opportunities to succeed as students, researchers and professionals who will make a difference in the world.
Through partnerships with universities, non-governmental organizations and colleagues around the world, 绿帽社 will strengthen its research; offer opportunities to its students, faculty and staff as well as to students and faculty from our partners; and make a positive impact on the world and the many challenges it faces.
