STATE OF GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT JA N UA RY 2016
COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY operates in a global context, reaching out to all sectors of society at home and abroad to make education an international experience. In 2013, we were honored to receive the Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization for our work in integrating global perspectives into everything that we do at CSU. We are proud of the recent growth in our international student population, in education abroad participation, and in the increasing number of partnerships we have around the world. To us, though, internationalization is not just about the numbers, but about meaningful international teaching, learning, research and engagement connections on campus and around the globe. At CSU, international isn’t just about one thing, it’s about everything. Jim Cooney, Vice Provost for International Affairs
