Expanding Students’ Global Experiences
For spring break 2024, some WCU students are heading to Cuba, Greece, or Germany and
France to learn about history, culture, and clashes. These are only a few of more
than 700 international study programs offered through the Global Engagement Office.
Angela Howard, associate provost for global engagement, and her four-person staff facilitate a broad range of international opportunities. Programs include faculty-led research and study trips, international internships and student teaching, field study, and exchange agreements with institutions abroad. The office also helps to arrange for sports teams to play in other countries and for performing arts students to perform internationally, plus supports international students and visiting scholars who come to study and teach at WCU.
“We want to create global citizens,” Howard says. “We want our students to be able to live and work and engage with all cultures.”
