Welcome from the Associate Vice President

Welcome! This site serves as a resource for University of Central Arkansas faculty, staff, and students as they explore ways to become involved in our Global Learning initiatives. 

We are proud to center all of our Global Learning initiatives around United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Universities around the world are implementing these #GlobalGoals into their curricula.

Our name reflects our commitment to provide inclusive and robust programming both on and off-campus that highlights opportunities at UCA to Go Here, Go Anywhere, Go Global!

Global Learning initiatives on campus include:

• Education Abroad
• Global Learning Scholar Program
• Global Spotlight 
• International Education Week
• National Student Exchange

Engagement creates opportunity

Informed by their coursework and engagement on campus, students will be invited through our proposed Global Learning Scholar Program to Go Global!  Whether through service learning in diverse communities in central Arkansas, study in the US or Canada through National Student Exchange, or participation in one of UCA’s education abroad programs. The Center for Global Learning and Engagement works to support UCA’s mission to prepare graduates to live and work in “local, national, and global communities.”

Dr. Phillip Bailey
Associate Vice President for Global Learning and Engagement

We bring a world of learning to UCA. Our programs prepare all students to live well in local, national, and global communities.
