执行董事致词

It is my pleasure to welcome you to 杰克逊维尔大学’s Center for Global Teaching 和学习. Serving JU as both a faculty member and Executive Director, I work to develop and maintain campus wide global 合作伙伴关系 for the university. 具体地说, the GTL provides academic oversight, university wide coordination, and promotes a series of international signature 合作伙伴关系 programs. GTL的核心是 a commitment to providing exceptional student centered 机会 for engaged learning and excellence in both undergraduate 以及研究生教育.

Time and again, I witness the transformation that takes place when a college student steps out of the familiar and into the unknown. I believe education remains the one great hope for vibrant democracies throughout the world. 对我来说，出国留学是一种乐趣 integral part of education, necessary to prepare students for life in an increasingly 全球社区. When done right, study abroad has the power to promote peace, replacing fear of the unknown with understanding, illuminating shared values, and cultivating 尊重差异. Study abroad affords students the opportunity to experience engaged learning while increasing knowledge through experience and understanding.

Through the GTL, I actively work to enhance the international aspects of select partner programs, including internationalization of academic curricula, strengthening select study abroad programs, and expanding international research and outreach programs while proactively seeking funding 机会. During the last year, JU added international internships in Spain and Italy and welcomed a new global partner with campuses in 伦敦和苏格兰.

The GTL actively works to cultivate global learning experiences for students across disciplines, online and in person, and actively includes 机会 for the adult 学习者. Through collaboration with campus wide partners, the center has reimagined inclusive global learning, study abroad 机会, international internships, 和新的全球学习证书 all while focusing on student centered learning. On behalf of the GTL, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive, positive culture, while working with a diverse 教职员工.
