Partnering to Nurture Change: Supporting Diversity and Global Engagement Across Campus by DA Global | Apr 30, 2016 | Education Abroad Resources, Fundamentals Partnering to Nurture Change: Supporting Diversity and Global Engagement Across Campus This panel will focus on the ways in which one model program at the University of Connecticut has helped to promote campus-wide diversity and inclusion initiatives in the arena of global engagement. By examining its historical roots, mission and current practices, we’ll discuss how Student Support Services (SSS) has both provided access to and built education abroad programs for its core participants: high-potential students who come from underrepresented ethnic or economic backgrounds and/or are first-generation college students. We will then contextualize the work and role of SSS within the campus as a whole during the academic year 2013 -14 when faculty and staff worked on and adopted a new strategic plan that emphasized global engagement and diversity as two of its four core values.
