IU’s alumni are accomplished and successful, they are government officials, C-suite professionals and executives of multinational corporations, highly acclaimed artists touring globally, researchers working with scholars worldwide.
This impact starts with individual students having the opportunity to pursue an international educational experience and develop their global competencies and skills, whether as an international student coming to the U.S., or any student studying abroad. Our academic partnerships across the world and international development efforts drive innovation, research, and connect IU to a global network of scholars solving some of the world’s most vexing issues. These efforts pay off in developing a globally competent workforce and critical innovations.
“… the best university education instills an understanding of the world outside of the boundaries of the United States: of the history, ancient or modern, of the cultures, religions, politics, economies, institutions, languages, art, and literature of other countries. And such an understanding is even more important today when there is hardly a discipline or profession that is not affected, to greater or lesser degree, by globalization.”
President Michael A. McRobbie
Giving drives much of Indiana University’s ability to increase its global engagement. Since 2012, philanthropy from alumni has enabled the addition of 300+ scholarships to study abroad, opening doors for regional campus students, as well as those from more financially constrained background to engage in transformational experience.
Giving makes it possible for students from over 140 countries to study at IU, and gives us the ability to offer emergency support to international students in need. These investments in developing global connections affect the world far beyond IU’s campuses, they reach into communities, and pay dividends long after our students leave college to make their mark on the world.
You too can make an impact and help bring IU to the world and the world to IU. Your gift to IU Global enables the university to continue welcoming the best and brightest from around the world to study at IU, gives more American students the opportunity to learn the global competencies so needed in today’s marketplace, and encourages critical innovations.
