A monthly gathering for faculty who are engaged or interested in global work.
UW Global is pleased to invite faculty from across the University of Washington who are engaged in or curious about global work to join a new monthly gathering:
UW Global Community Conversations
This is not a lecture series. It is a welcoming and conversational space to meet colleagues, share food and drink, and connect around the many ways global perspectives show up in our teaching, research, and engagement. Whether your work involves international research, global learning, study abroad, visiting scholars, or exploring global issues locally, this is a place to get to know one another, exchange ideas, and build community.
Each month, we’ll feature a brief, informal spotlight such as a faculty project, a new global initiative, or an international guest on campus to spark conversation. The heart of the gathering, however, is the conversation itself: time to talk, listen, make connections, and learn what others across campus are doing.
When: First Tuesday of each month (during the academic year)
Where: UW Club
Format: Drop in, grab a snack, stay for as long as you like
First Gathering
Tuesday, March 3
3:00–5:00 p.m.
UW Club
For our inaugural gathering, Ahmad Ezzeddine, Vice Provost for Global Affairs, will offer brief opening remarks and reflections on UW Global’s mission and priorities, followed by plenty of time for conversation and connection.
Light food/snacks and beverages will be provided. RSVPs are appreciated to help us plan, but faculty are always welcome to stop by even if they decide at the last minute.
We hope this becomes a familiar rhythm on campus: if it’s the first Tuesday of the month, it’s UW Global Community Conversations at the UW Club. Come when you can, bring a colleague, and help build the vibrant community of globally engaged faculty at UW.
