Global College Institutes

The Global College includes seven active  Institutes which are the foundation of academic learning through the College. Each Institute helps to fulfill the mandate of the Global College by offering summer institutes, teach-ins, symposia, conferences, and lecture series, as well as by encouraging trans-disciplinary education. The Institutes offer a forum for dialogue on international issues that may include local implications.


The Global College is currently preparing a Call for Proposals for new Directors of Institutes and/or new Institutes. Please stay tuned.
