GLOBE stands for Global Leaders Orange and Blue Engagement. The program offers you an opportunity to make connections with domestic and international students to build these friendships throughout the semester. More information found here: https://go.illinois.edu/GLOBE 

You will want to participate if you: 

• Are a current student at U of I (domestic or international) 

• Have a sincere interest in sharing one’s culture and building relationships 

• Have an interest in getting involved in campus life 

• Want to develop intercultural communication and leadership skills 

 If so, submit your interest form via this link!  

https://go.illinois.edu/GLOBEInterestForm  

Once you submit your interest form, these are the next steps: 

1. Attend an Info Session and the Meet & Greet (details to come) 

2. GLOBE participants will then be invited to a Canvas learning space to keep track of their progress toward membership by completing required activities and reflections.  

3. GLOBE participants can select one of four "tracks" to focus on: 

   • Intercultural Communication 

   • Leadership in a Global Context 

   • Service & Sustainability 

   • Resiliency & Well-Being 

4. GLOBE participants will need to meet with their cohort throughout the semester, attend other IE and campus programs and events, and complete some reflections and brief activities in a Canvas learning space to secure membership by the end of the semester. 

This program is open to all current students and can be repeated multiple times. For inquiries and questions, please email Rebecca Hodson, GLOBE coordinator at rhodson1@illinois.edu
