Internationalization Task Force seeks faculty input on connections worldwide

The Internationalization Task Force is establishing a Web site to collect and document the many linkages that Purdue faculty and staff have created through their efforts overseas. 

From May through early fall, the task force is seeking faculty input on the institutions, partners, companies, and alumni with which Purdue has ongoing educational programs, research projects, engagement activities, and affiliations. 

The records will be compiled into a searchable database that can be used by the Purdue community to determine faculty contacts and projects in certain countries, the international activities within a college or center, or the types of linkages Purdue maintains in different parts of the world. 

College representatives on the task force will contact departments and faculty individually to request their involvement and use of the Web site, www.ippu.purdue.edu/GlobalLinkages/

Data entry is simple and quick, yet important in determining where and how Purdue is working overseas, and growing Global Purdue.
