UNC Greensboro’s Global Leadership Program (GLP) offers a transdisciplinary co-curriculum that promotes and recognizes international and global leadership, experience, and understanding. Open to all degree-seeking domestic and international undergraduate and graduate students at UNCG, the Global Leadership Program is relevant to students from any discipline, whether they are in the humanities, arts, natural or social sciences, or in the professional schools. The Global Leadership Program complements UNCG’s ongoing commitment to internationalization and the cultivation of knowledge, skills, and dispositions that attend to global citizenship.

International Ambassadors

The International Ambassadors (iAmbassadors) program is intended for international degree-seeking students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. iAmbassadors work to represent IPC and serve as ambassadors of their own countries and cultures at UNCG and in its surrounding communities. This program is designed to provide leadership and developmental opportunities for international students. iAmbassadors are key to providing a welcoming environment for other international students at orientation and throughout the academic year. iAmbassadors are expected to be exemplary representatives of not only their home cultures, but IPC and UNCG as a whole.

The bios and contact information for 2021 iAmbassadors is available here. If you’re interested in becoming an iAmbassador, contact ipc-programs@uncg.edu.

I-House

The International House—or I-House, as it is most commonly called—is home to students from all over the globe, including those from the U.S. I-House is located in the Tower Village Residence Hall. It is a residential community with an international twist! Built European-style (single rooms with shared common areas), I-House is open to all students (freshmen to graduate students) with a particular interest in learning from and living with people from other parts of the world.

International Coffee Hours

In conjunction with the International Students Association and the iAmbassadors, IPC hosts international coffee hours throughout the semester to offer space for intercultural connections and community building for international students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested in learning more about all things global at UNCG! Some coffee hours will feature presentations by iAmbassadors or other UNCG students, staff, or faculty about a specific country or culture, while other sessions are open for general discussion and networking. Visit the IPC events calendar to view upcoming topics for international coffee hours each semester.
