What is the Need? Higher education continues to experience institutional and economic challenges. In today's environment of budget cuts and eliminating programs, U.S. community colleges must make the best use of their limited resources to: (1) ensure students graduate with the skills and abilities required to succeed in an ever-changing universal marketplace; and (2) provide administrators and faculty with cutting-edge tools for working effectively in an interdependent world community and global economy. Who are CGACC's Leaders?

How Will CGACC Serve U.S. Community Colleges? CGACC is distinctively qualified to offer in-depth knowledge and strategies needed by community colleges to develop and/or enhance global endeavors, while simultaneously maximizing limited institutional funds. In this context, CGACC has the perspective and capability to facilitate student mobility (both international students coming to the United States and U.S. students going abroad), encourage global involvement by administrators and faculty, and forge stronger relationships between institutions in the U.S. and abroad. CGACC initiatives include: Publications—in print and web versions utilizing social media channels—designed to educate international students, advising centers, and consulate officers about (a) the transfer process; ( b ) short-term certificate program options for international students; ( c ) intensive English programs available on-campus; and (d) other elements of international student recruitment. Initiatives designed to help college administrators prepare students for a global world. Showcasing and promoting student, faculty, and administrator exchanges. Data banks of experts and specialists knowledgeable in different aspects of internationalization. A Resource Center with relevant and current information about grant programs and exchange opportunities offered by federal agencies, international educational organizations and associations. Global Calendar of current and future meetings, workshops, seminars, and webinars. Overall, CGACC will serve as a major resource for community college administrators, federal and state policymakers, and institutional leaders of national and international organizations.
