Vice Provost for Global Engagement
The Office of Global Engagement is NC State's gateway to the world, overseeing global research, education and partnership efforts that tackle the grand challenges of our interconnected society. In alignment with the Wolfpack 2030: Powering the Extraordinary , NC State's strategic plan, and through the framework of Global Learning for All , the office provides university-level leadership, innovation and coordination to equip students, faculty, staff and the communities that NC State serves with the knowledge, cultural understanding, skills and hands-on experience to compete and collaborate in the global economy.
The Office of Global Engagement has nearly 60 employees, a $12 million annual budget and consists of six units: Study Abroad, Office of International Services, Global Training Initiative, Intensive English Program, NC Japan Center and the NC State European Center in Prague.
The Study Abroad office gives NC State students of every background the chance to expand their horizons by studying around the globe. The unit partners with academic units to support programs that develop discipline-specific global competencies and works hard to ensure a high standard of safety and accessibility for all study abroad programs. Over 1,600 students study abroad annually, leading to more than 20% of NC State undergraduates studying abroad before they graduate.
The Office of International Services offers comprehensive immigration support and cultural programming for international students, scholars, faculty and staff. It provides effective educational programs, advises NC State's 3,900 international students, coordinates immigration processing and compliance efforts, and offers research and employment support, cross-cultural experiences and community extension activities.
The Global Training Initiative provides short-term programming and support for NC State's students, faculty and staff - and custom training solutions for international partners and working professionals. In the 2021-22 academic year, the unit served more than 2,700 students from NC State and global partner institutions and more than 1,100 domestic and international professionals.
The Intensive English Program provides high-quality English language instruction to non-native speakers seeking academic preparation, professional development and/or personal enrichment. In this full-time, non-credit program participants gain a strong foundation in academic, cultural and technological skills that prepare them for life inside and outside of the American classroom.
The NC Japan Center is a statewide resource that cooperates with North Carolina and local economic development agencies and business organizations with Japanese interests. The center also fosters academic collaboration on Japan-related studies and offers numerous cultural events, workshops, and a full range of non-credit Japanese language and culture courses.
The NC State European Center in Prague is the university's only permanent international facility, welcoming both students and faculty year-round, and serving as a gateway to Europe for developing international networks and experiences. In addition to traditional study abroad programs, the center has unique offerings including Prague Connect, a fall program for incoming first-year students admitted the following spring, and the interdisciplinary Global Leadership minor program.
In addition to the work of its six units, the Office of Global Engagement oversees all of NC State's internationalization efforts, from formalizing strategic partnerships with universities abroad to hosting international hubs and consortia here in Raleigh. The office manages NC State's founding membership in the University Global Partnership Network , which was created to promote multilateral collaboration in education, research and engagement between its member institutions.
