The Center for Global Studies sponsors speakers and events, several times a semester. We bring in alumni, UW and visiting faculty, institutional partners, and global and community leaders to share their insights and promote internationalization. The events form not only a key backbone of the work we promote on campus, they also support us in developing collaborations and driving forward student growth. We proudly support international work across the world, from conflict resolution to rural health.
