It collaborates with other international programs on campus, other UNC campuses and private universities, and global businesses to sponsor the following programs.

The world is much smaller than it used to be. In this age of information technology, even exotic places thousands of miles away are only a few hours or a click away. They can, and do, affect the way we live.

The world's geopolitics has also been restructured with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war. And then on September 11 the way we see the world was forever changed. The next generation's future rests heavily on their recognizing and being prepared for these challenges and also the opportunities in a restructured, more interconnected world..
