The Global Bryn Mawr Office coordinates and communicates the College's global engagement in the arenas of learning, community, and infrastructure. The College takes a collaborative, interdisciplinary, institution-wide approach to global learning, on and off campus. Integral to this approach is an institution-wide network of committees comprised of faculty and staff members that, led by the Associate Dean for Global Engagement, work with departments across the College to prioritize, support, manage, incubate, and communicate international and intercultural activities.
Since Global Bryn Mawr was launched in 2016, it has created new grant programs for faculty, staff, and students; supported the development of new student opportunities for study abroad and exchange, summer study abroad, and summer internships abroad (examples include Fundación Tierra De Esperanza, Chile for summer internships; The Sijal Institute in Amman, Jordan for Arabic language and Middle East Study/cultural immersion; Aberystwyth University in Wales for a study-abroad program); supported the work of visiting scholars; created a travel registry and planning process for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; established a college travel registry and safety preparedness approach; and enhanced communications about global engagement at the College within the institution and beyond it.
