Faculty & Staff

Global faculty and staff resources

There are many dimensions of global engagement, including but not limited to:

• Internationalizing the curriculum (global learning)
• Taking students abroad (global mobility)
• Hosting scholars from abroad
• Conducting research abroad or in collaboration with partners at foreign institutions
• Forming partnerships with individuals or organizations across the globe

This section is a great starting point to learn about global engagement opportunities. FIU Global is happy to serve as a liaison between faculty and other units.

• Internationalizing the curriculum

  Also known as Global Learning for Global Citizenship at FIU, The Office of Global Learning Initiatives provides every FIU undergraduate with curricular and co-curricular opportunities to achieve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of global citizenship through global learning.

  FIU coursework has been crafted to achieve global learning experiences with a distinct curriculum design.

  FIU scholars have also developed a national model that has received awards and has been published as a replicable guide in the book Making Global Learning Universal: Promoting Inclusion and Success for All Students co-published by NAFSA.

   Faculty can request to submit a course for Global Learning (GL) Designation.

  To learn more, contact the Office of Global Learning Initiatives. 

• Faculty-led education abroad programs

  Are you interested in taking your students abroad to gain first-hand insights into a foreign culture? We know that it can seem overwhelming to plan an abroad trip with students by yourself.

  You can count on the the Office of Education Abroad to help you along the way. They can provide faculty and staff guidance and resources to help you plan for logistics abroad, program budget and more. 

  Contact Office of Education Abroad.

• Conducting collaborative research with partners abroad

  Globalizing one's research for the benefit of both students and faculty can be rewarding. Enhancing our research and economic development agenda through collaborations with researchers around the world can be a significant boost to outcomes, tech transfer, and commercialization.

  Please contact the Training & International Research Initiatives Unit, part of the Office of Research & Economic Development, on where to start.

• Forming formal partnerships

  International collaborations can be very rewarding and depending on what it entails, it may make sense to create a formal partnership agreement with specific terms. Such win-win efforts require a lot of consistent effort and persistent commitment from both partners and institutions.

  Prior to engaging in such conversations with individuals or organizations abroad, we recommend that you review our International Partnerships and Agreements Toolkit to better understand the regulatory environment.
