Why Global Impact?
Since 2013 the Global Impact Conference, DA Global’s annual conference, has constituted the most comprehensive forum for connecting global education, inclusive excellence, and student success.
Global Impact is a unique learning experience that unites international education, student success, diversity & inclusion, and student affairs professionals to leverage global education to advance student achievement, workforce readiness, and institutional impact.
Global education can be a high impact practice that contributes to academic success, interpersonal growth and career readiness. As such, all students and young people deserve access to the benefits that global education affords.
It is imperative that educators and administrators continue to strengthen their skills, knowledge and competencies to ensure that global education is not only accessible, but designed to support the success of all students.
Each year the DA Global community gathers for Global Impact to network, grow, and tackle the challenges and opportunities to ensuring the field of international education have a positive impact on all students, institutions, and communities we serve.
