Be Global is an initiative to encourage students at the University of Illinois to be more globally minded and globally connected. We do this by planning international events, spreading information about international opportunities, and encouraging collaboration between existing student groups. Our goal is to increase student involvement in internationally oriented activities both on campus and abroad. By promoting a college experience that includes an international dimension we believe students will be better prepared for their future careers and better prepared for life as a citizen of the world, no matter where they end up.
