The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) is a hybrid administrative-academic unit and UConn’s gateway to the world. We provide university-wide leadership to build and sustain global and experiential learning; support international students and scholars; nurture strategic global partnerships; create and manage student, faculty, and staff mobility programs; promote collaborative international research; develop curricula to build global competency; and deliver educational and professional entrepreneurial programs. Through our efforts, we strive to foster a sense of global-mindedness at UConn and beyond by designing and facilitating life-transformative education that address real world problems around human rights, social justice, sustainable development, etc. Global Affairs supports State of Connecticut economic development and has emerged as an institutional leader in philanthropy.
