One of the primary functions of our office is to support the growth and development of mutually beneficial global partnerships! ??? ? As such, our global partnerships team – with support from the Institute for the Arts and Humanities – hosted a networking reception for Carolina faculty and staff who have been engaged in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's nearly 20-year partnership with King's College London. Initiated in 2005 between UNC's College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Arts and Humanities and School of Social Science and Public Policy at King’s, this partnership has since bolstered joint activity in teaching, research and other initiatives in more than 30 departments across both campuses. UNC Global Affairs also offers Global Partnership Awards to support faculty who wish to travel to King’s to engage in collaborative activity. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gwy9Rbz2 ? The evening consisted of brief remarks from?Heather H. Ward, associate provost for global affairs, Krista Northup, director for global partnerships, and Noreen McDonald, senior associate dean for social sciences and global programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. Other speakers included two history faculty members from King’s – Jim Bj?rk and Chris Parkes (who will be teaching at UNC this fall on a faculty exchange) – and Milada Vachudova, Institute for the Arts and Humanities. All highlighted the importance of maintaining global partnerships and emphasized the importance of fostering new connections and collaborations within, and across, higher educational spheres.? ? We also formally welcomed the newest member of our global partnerships team, Meredith Bryson. Meredith will serve as our program manager for global partnerships and international travel. We are thrilled to welcome her to our team!
