Global Education

In line with VMI’s Mission , Global Education (GE) seeks to facilitate the development of global/cultural competence required to “produce educated, honorable” graduates “prepared for the varied work of civil life [and] imbued with love of learning”. Providing opportunities for future leaders and citizen-soldiers to broaden their global perspectives, increase their cultural awareness, and develop competencies necessary to succeed in an interconnected and interdependent world is the core mission of GE. To accomplish this mission, GE (a) provides opportunities to study, intern, and conduct research abroad; (b) supports international students enrolled at VMI, including maintenance of immigration status; (c) advises for international scholarship/fellowship/grant programs, including Gilman, Gilman-McCain, the Critical Language Scholarship, Boren, Project Global Officer, and Fulbright; (d) hosts international visitors; and (e) serves as the repository for all Institute international travel.
