RIT Global Convergence - Second Annual Partnership Conference: Conversations From 25 Years of Internationalization

Today's interconnected and rapidly evolving world provides new and exciting opportunities for global collaboration - as well as a need to be creative, innovative, and break down barriers in support of connectivity. Though the pandemic has certainly disrupted our goals and plans for international education, it has not stopped RIT from engaging with other cultures and continuing our work on solving some of the world's biggest challenges. Join us for engaged discussion with RIT faculty and staff around the world who have been engaged in RIT’s 25 years of internationalization. All sessions will take place via Zoom and are open to faculty and staff at RIT globally, international partner institutions, and other colleagues engaged in campus internationalization.
