Virtual Exchange is a teaching and learning practice that promotes intercultural competence across shared multicultural learning environments. Through Internet-based tools and innovative online pedagogies, Virtual Exchange fosters meaningful exchanges between students in geographically distant locations and from different lingua-cultural backgrounds. Housed in the Office of International Initiatives, the Virtual Exchange program creates international opportunities for students that might otherwise not experience global learning. Types of online exchanges include single assignments, peer review, cooperative learning, discussions, project-based learning, and/or service learning. Students gain intercultural communication skills, digital competence, teamwork, media literacy, and the ability to work in a diverse cultural context, all important 21st century employability skills. Thus, Virtual Exchange provides access to all students to experience international learning and significantly contributes to GSU’s strategic goal to achieve distinction in globalizing the university community

Special Collections & Archives (SCA) holds regular programming around our collecting areas all year long. These events are funded by Foundation endowments to SCA to hold these events. Programming includes our annual Women's Event in the spring, an LGBTQ+ centered event in October (this past October we opened our exhibit Out in the Archives). We've also held community outreach programming teaching people how to conduct oral histories, as well as programming around our other collections.
