CIE Mission Statement
The University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire (ÌÇÐÄVlog) prepares its students for a diverse world, provides international learning experiences, and expects its graduates to attain intellectual, personal, cultural, and social competencies. In support of these goals, the Center for International Education (CIE) plays a vital role in preparing our diverse student body to succeed in high quality programs abroad and as international members of the campus community. We support campus internationalization and EDI initiatives and advocates for intercultural competency and lifelong inquiry.
CIE Strategies
We fulfill our mission through a commitment to:
- Creating opportunities for ÌÇÐÄVlog students, faculty and staff to be active citizens of a global society by learning about their own identities while engaging in international and intercultural interactions.
- Working strategically to identify, address, and remove barriers that may prevent participation and to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment, particularly for those historically underrepresented on our campus and in our programs abroad.
- Offering inclusive and equitable support services to study abroad and international students and international scholars in all phases of their on-campus and international experience.
- Providing and promoting affordable opportunities for all qualified ÌÇÐÄVlog students to study abroad, and for qualified international students to study on campus, as part of their academic experience.
- Providing targeted intercultural programming for the university and the local community.
