Global Engagement Network for International Education

About GENIE

The Global Engagement Network for International Education (GENIE) creates opportunities for cross-cultural interaction between international students, domestic students, faculty, and the greater College community. GENIE provides a mutual benefit for students as they build relationships, grow new perspectives, and develop multicultural competencies that help them during their educational journey.

GENIE offers virtual and in-person multicultural programming that domestic and international students may participate in one or both options which foster cross-cultural communication and promote appreciation and understanding of different multinational groups.
