Our Mission

Global Engagement's mission is to ignite curiosity and foster understanding about the world and Santa Clara University's place in the world. We do this by connecting students, faculty, and staff through teaching, learning, and research.

We aspire to shape a world where people with varying identities and perspectives have the courage, skills, and ability to thrive.

Since 2012, we have worked to advance international partnerships, global program opportunities, and international student success at SCU.
