As educators and Area Studies specialists, we help internationalize learning across disciplines on campus - in the public schools and in the community - contributing to the intellectual, cultural and economic development of the state of Ohio. Internationalization serves as a powerful catalyst to transform students into knowledgeable, understanding, and responsible citizens of the state and the world community. The Office of International Affairs' international education outreach is an investment in Ohio’s future. International education outreach:

• Promotes understanding of diverse perspectives.
• Enhances and communicates area studies knowledge and global understanding.
• Facilitates and enhances learning of foreign languages and cultures.
• Advances knowledge about other parts of the world and Ohio's integration with the world.

The Office of International Affairs uses its unique resources to support internationalization of education for all.
