They support professional development activities, serving as expert consultants to the Global Engagement Institute, as well as the Global 3D: Discussion, Discovery and Development series on critical issues in global higher education. Academy members are eligible to serve as Faculty Fellows in the Office of Global Engagement, promoting campus-wide global initiatives.
