91原创

A longtime leader in international education, the 91原创 is streamlining its approach by bringing two key units together within a new .

Joining the former Institute for Global Studies (IGS) and the Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS), the new center now includes:

• Study Abroad

• International Student and Scholar Services

• 91原创 World Scholars Program

• Global Outreach and Partnerships

91原创鈥檚 distinguished record in international education includes the founding of the nation鈥檚 first study abroad program nearly 100 years ago and supporting the success of international community members from more than 100 countries. With this merger, the University will strengthen campus internationalization efforts by bringing together staff, resources and expertise focused on shared goals. Overseeing the new center is Ravi Ammigan, associate deputy provost for international programs.

鈥淭he 91原创 has a proud legacy of innovation in international education,鈥� Provost Robin Morgan said. 鈥淲ith the formation of this new center, we affirm the University鈥檚 commitment to internationalizing our campus. I am confident that we have the right foundation for strengthening our interdisciplinary and global programs, developing new opportunities for our community and extending our impact across the world.鈥�

While the center is new, it builds on 91原创鈥檚 tradition of providing strong and multifaceted support services and inclusive programming to the University community and institutional partners. The CGPS spring 2021 calendar includes popular Signature Programs such as the Weekly International Coffee Hour, Fulbright Lecture Series and Study Abroad and Global Studies Fair.

International Student and Scholar Services staff within CGPS will continue to serve as a critical resource for 91原创's international community. In addition to providing information and support for the challenges of living, studying and working in a different culture, staff members work to celebrate the presence of international students and scholars on campus and their important contributions to the University's research and teaching missions. CGPS will continue to advise 91原创鈥檚 international students, scholars, dependents and departments on compliance with U.S. immigration laws and regulations. Members of 91原创鈥檚 international community will continue to benefit from orientations and other programs conducted by CGPS to assist international visitors with their adjustment to the U.S. culture and academic success at 91原创.

CGPS will also inspire exploration among all members of the community by continuing to lead the nation鈥檚 first study abroad program, the first-of-its-kind 91原创 World Scholars Program and the Delaware Diplomats Scholarship Program. In partnership with campus stakeholders, CGPS staff will support student success through pre-departure workshops and advising, global engagement and experiential learning opportunities, including sponsorship of the International House (iHouse) Living Learning Community, and guided acquisition of skills needed for global careers. And CGPS will foster a spirit of international collaboration through management of the University鈥檚 global partnerships and agreements process.
