We feel very supported by Texas Global … and the team that really helped us make this all go forward. Having people cheer for you, who are helping remove the obstacles and the roadblocks and who are really trying to accelerate what you’re doing, is so important. Scott Wallace, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Value Institute, Dell Medical School

There are few truly catalytic initiatives in the life of a faculty member, but in my experience, the President’s Award for Global Learning is one of them. The very core of this initiative—insisting on interdisciplinary engagement, placing undergraduates in the role of point persons, and requiring a disciplined examination of questions and issues beyond the confines of our campus and our state, indeed thrusting us all into the global space—is visionary. Ricardo Ainslie, Ph.D., M.K. Hage Centennial Professor in Education, Director, Mexico Center

It is a pleasure to teach students in the various Foundation Year programs. I get to learn about new perspectives and different cultures, which makes me a better instructor for UT students. I also get confirmation that while there are differences between various cultures, there are also many similarities. I believe this is vitally important in our global world. Michael W. Raney, Ph.D., Senior Assistant Dean for Advising and Student Services, College of Natural Sciences

When we study abroad, we put all of our expectations and assumptions to the test and really explore what it means to make a difference in the world. Stephanie Seidel Holmsten, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Instruction, International Relations and Global Studies, College of Liberal Arts
