At the Center for Global Engagement (CGE), our mission is to broaden worldviews and promote global understanding within the JMU community by cultivating, facilitating, and supporting global engagement both at home and abroad. To further this mission, we established the CGE Advisory Council. This council aims to enhance communication and collaboration across JMU.
The CGE Advisory Council will play a crucial role in providing strategic advice to CGE, supporting our overarching goal of internationalization at JMU. Members of the council will represent JMU’s various colleges, units, and divisions, acting as liaisons. They will communicate global engagement priorities and initiatives from their respective areas to CGE and, likewise, they will disseminate information about CGE's programs and opportunities back to their home college, unit, or division. Additionally, the council will serve as a platform for discussing trends in higher education internationalization and for exchanging ideas on all aspects of global learning, research, and service.
