Who we are

Each sector operates with the focus of providing international learning opportunities to North Georgia students who desire to enhance their cross-cultural perspectives and global understanding. Our staff is here to serve YOU, so please come see us to learn more about what we offer.

Welcome from the Director

Welcome to the Center for Global Engagement (CGE) at North Georgia College and State University! As globalization increasingly becomes part of our daily nomenclature, North Georgia believes it is important to prepare students to engage in solving global problems. With 26 foreign countries represented on campus, and an average of 30 study abroad opportunities each year, North Georgia strongly believes in investing its future in global learning. Through cultural immersion, students will become the ethical and global stewards of our world system. Study abroad will allow them to engage in the broader world, and explore the social, cultural, and economic divisions that will challenge them in the 21st century.

Not only are we invested in sending our students out into the world, but another large goal of the CGE is to bring foreign students here and diversify our campus. These students are a vital part of the Center and it is both our job and privilege to expand their knowledge of Dahlonega and the surrounding community.

Here at the CGE, our staff is committed to broadening your educational experience. The diversified programs offered at North Georgia offer students the ability to integrate classroom knowledge with their experiences overseas. The International Initiatives  section of our website outlines our efforts to create educated global citizens through activities both at home and abroad. Therefore, I encourage you to browse the NEW CGE website to learn about the many international programs available to you. You never know, it might change your life!

I look forward to assisting you as you discover the world of opportunities offered by the CGE!

Sincerely,

Dr. Dlynn Armstrong-Williams

Director
