Greetings from the Office of Global Engagement!

While we look toward the summer, with increased numbers of international travelers, high demand for study abroad, and increased applications for international students in fall 2022, I hope that your areas are also seeing some positive developments in mobility. We appreciate your continued enthusiasm for global engagement and support of international students and scholars on our campus.

Please check out the newsletter below and as always you can contact us at global@olemiss.edu.

UM Fulbright Directory

Have you participated in a Fulbright program or know someone on our campus who has? The Office of Global Engagement, with the assistance of the Fulbright Program, is compiling a directory of Fulbright participants at UM, not only from the University of Mississippi but also to the University of Mississippi. The purpose of collecting this information is to create a comprehensive directory, to encourage interested scholars to connect with Fulbright alumni on our campus and/or apply to the variety of programs offered by Fulbright, and to allow UM to report on global engagement through prestigious awards such as the Fulbright.

We realize that there are likely scholars on our campus who have participated in a Fulbright program while at another institution. Please check out the current directory in Box and complete the Fulbright survey if applicable to you. Thank you!

Equity in Action Plan for Global Engagement

Please check out our Equity in Action Plan, along with all the other UM Equity in Action Plans on the Diversity and Community Engagement website. We would like to thank our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for their hard work.

Conversation Partners

Are you interested in being a conversation partner for students learning English? Virtual and in-person opportunities are available. Please contact Ms. Tracy Koslowski, Associate Director of Recruitment and Development in the Intensive English Program, at tlcase@olemiss.edu for more information.

Olympics 2022

In closing, I love watching the Olympics, and especially the torch relay, as it unites the nations of the world with one flame and in one ceremony. I hope you've enjoyed the Beijing 2022 Olympics too!
