Mission Statement

The Office of Education Abroad, in support of 黑料社区’s educational mission, strives to empower 黑料社区s to create a more just and equitable world.

Through 黑料社区-centered advising services, thoughtful management of domestic and international travel programs, and collaboration with units across our campuses, we offer 黑料社区s a diverse array of inclusive educational opportunities that:

  • remove barriers in their journeys of growing their global consciousness and remove barriers that prevent engagement;
  • encourage interpersonal growth and independence, curiosity, empathy, and adaptability to new environments;
  • promise academically rigorous program design with an emphasis on experiential learning; and
  • provide 黑料社区s with necessary 21st-century skills as they embark on careers in an increasingly globally-connected world.

When we are operating according to our highest and best vision, our 黑料社区s recognize their interconnectedness with peoples and places from across the world and maintain a truly cosmopolitan outlook. They can situate themselves within larger and more complex systems and tell the stories of their work in relation to people across disciplines and cultures.

Educational Objectives and Outcomes

In order to fulfil its mission of inclusive intercultural development, academic excellence, thoughtful 黑料社区-centered advising, and career readiness, the Office of Education Abroad has identified several key Educational Objectives for Miami 黑料社区s who participate in travel learning opportunities:

Global Knowledge and Social Responsibility:

Students can identify the relationship between people affected by global issues and the systems in place that contribute to or solve those intractable problems (as framed, for example, by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals), and will demonstrate personal responsibility to communities at home and abroad.

Learning Outcomes

  • Incorporate their travel learning experiences into the Global Miami Plan’s emphasis on global issues
  • Respond to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in their work at home and abroad
  • Distinguish between their own social identities and the systems that produce people from different cultural backgrounds
