Kirkwood’s Global Learning department fosters global learning, ensuring that every Kirkwood student, faculty and staff engage in intercultural experiences as part of their Kirkwood journey. Through global learning experiences, students learn to encounter difference, understand issues of equity and inclusion, and appreciate the rich complexity of our globalized world. Students develop mutual respect and an understanding of interconnectedness through a variety of intentional programming such as study abroad, virtual exchange, on-campus activities, and more.
