Global & Intercultural Learning Committee
The Global & Intercultural Learning Committee advises the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer on how TCC may best:
- Infuse global learning across the college curriculum
- Internationalize the college culture
- Promote overseas study and service opportunities for students
- Expand global learning opportunities for faculty
To cultivate an academic culture of global citizenship in which teaching and learning reflect a commitment to examining, understanding, and engaging the world from multiple cultural perspectives.
- Partner with the Intercultural Learning Center on the development and delivery of intercultural programs, aligned with the learning outcomes of courses and programs of study, including the signature Potlatch and TCC GPS programs
- Engage a working group of faculty to continue collaboration with Intercultural Learning and the Grants and Sponsored Programs office to prepare and submit a Fulbright Group Projects Abroad application
- Partner with the Intercultural Learning Center to create an intercultural certificate for students based on recurring global and intercultural events at TCC and throughout the Tidewater community.
