The Office of International Programs (OIP) empowers students, faculty and staff to address local and global challenges through sustainable and socially responsible means by eliminating barriers to meaningful engagement in global learning opportunities. OIP works in collaboration with campus, community, and global partners to expand and deepen global learning opportunities for App State and High Country communities. OIP supports the implementation of App State’s global engagement mission, including the co-creation of initiatives that build the skills, knowledge, and perspectives necessary to engage meaningfully and ethically in local and global contexts.
