Global Engagement Network for International Education

关于精灵

The purpose of the Global Engagement Network for International Education (GENIE) is to connect international and 国内学生 by creating programming that actively provides opportunities for cross-cultural interaction between international students, 国内学生, 教师, 以及更大的大学社区. GENIE provides a mutual benefit for students as they forge relationships with each other, 开拓新视角, and form multicultural competencies that assist them throughout their educational journeys. GENIE is also a key component of the 阿拉莫全球学生荣誉(AGS) which awards students participating in qualifying international activities a global competency designation upon completion of certain activities.

GENIE consists of two components: peer group cohorts and multicultural programming. Domestic and international students may participate in either or both options which foster cross-cultural communication and promote appreciation and understanding of different multinational groups.

• 同侪组. GENIE peer-group cohorts are designed to connect and provide mutual benefits for domestic and international students alike. While 国内学生 will assist international students with gaining a deeper understanding of the American 和德克萨斯文化s, international students will provide 国内学生 with an opportunity to gain a new cultural perspective and become more competent in their intercultural interactions. 一组三到四个学生, 国内和国际, will be assigned to a Culture Navigator who will organize and lead activities.
• 多元文化的编程. The second component of GENIE includes multicultural activities such as Discover 圣安东尼奥 historical site exploration, 跨文化研讨会, 参观德克萨斯州议会大厦, and international activities during 国际教育周.
