The values of international education A message from Vice Provost Philip Wainwright
The mobility of students and scholars between countries brings together different perspectives and allows us to see our disciplines, our world, and ourselves through different eyes. A strong commitment to the values of international education leads to a strong commitment to permitting ideas and people to cross borders, both literal and figurative. In that spirit, this issue of the GSI newsletter highlights our support for faculty exchange. You'll read about scholars who've won Fulbright and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) awards to work abroad or to come to Atlanta and work here. You'll learn how Emory's global strategies are being implemented to encourage new research collaborations and how sometimes connections are formed in unexpected ways. Providing support and additional ways for Emory faculty to expand international networks and to be active in other countries is a GSI top priority. Through forming strategic partnerships, supporting international projects, and advocating for immigration policies that facilitate the direct exchange of ideas, our commitment to this mission remains unwavering.
