Global Encounters: Framing MSU's Global Engagement for the 21st Century

Introducing Global Encounters

The Global Encounter process has endeavored to identify strategic countries/regions, partners, and programmatic themes where the university can have transformational impacts in the decades ahead.

There have to date been five Global Encounters. Each one has been highly interactive and participatory, bringing together colleagues from wide-ranging educational units who share similar country/regional or thematic/programmatic interests. Global Encounters have been structured around broad themes designed to encompass the vast array of interests at MSU, such as environment, technology, and people; political economy, commerce, and global relations. The regional Global Encounters have expanded to include topics specific to the country/region.

This site contains archival information, including full proceedings and related materials from all Global Encounters.
