Celebrating the Spelman Difference: At Home and Abroad

Fostering Intercultural Understanding

“Enhancing the presence of international students on campus is pivotal to both the College’s comprehensive internationalization agenda and strategic planning,” said Dimeji R. Togunde, Ph.D., vice provost for Global Education and professor of International Studies in the Gordon-Zeto Center for Global Education.

“A simultaneous approach that bolsters students’ opportunities to study abroad while recruiting more international students to campus, bodes well for our Quality Enhancement Plan aimed at developing students’ intercultural understanding and global competence.”
