Global Leadership Forum
The Global Leadership Forum is an annual conference run by the Center for Global Education that brings people of faith and global leaders together to wrestle with the toughest international issues while building relationships. It encourages participants to experience for themselves the full complexity and sovereignty of God through the unique reflections of the world-class participants. The event has been held in churches and universities across the United States and has served as a resource to people of faith interested in engaging the complexity of the world around them.
The School for Global Engagement
The Institute for Global Engagement's School for Global Engagement seeks to equip a new generation of faith leaders for effective intercultural engagement with an awareness of global trends. Each School for Global Engagement features a unique combination of interdisciplinary training, informative discussions, and diverse speakers.
Global Christian
GlobalChristian.org is a leadership initiative of the Institute for Global Engagement's Center for Global Education. The website provides resources for Christians who want to make their faith relevant to the most difficult places and issues in the world. GlobalChristian seeks to help produce Christians leaders who are both broadly educated in global engagement and who sustain a biblically grounded worldview. It also serves as a location where Christians can connect with each other as they explore the problems facing our world today.
Undergraduate Internships
The Institute for Global Engagement's Undergraduate Internship Program equips college students for careers in international affairs by providing them with valuable experience in a faith-based non-profit organization that works at the nexus of religion and politics in Washington, D.C., and worldwide. The experience gained at IGE provides an incredible advantage and insight to students seeking a career in the field of international relations.
Graduate Fellowships
The Institute for Global Engagement's Graduate Fellowship Program equips college graduates for careers in international affairs by providing them with valuable experience in a faith-based non-profit organization that works at the nexus of religion and politics in Washington, D.C., and worldwide. As college graduates begin their careers in international affairs, one of the biggest hurdles is that many organizations require job applicants to have prior experience in the field. Working at IGE provides this experience in a fast paced yet learning environment that strengthens and prepares Fellows for a career in the field of international relations.
Future Programs
The Center for Global Education is currently developing comprehensive academic training and education programs in cooperation with its partners, including the Dawson Institute at Baylor University.
