Falls. This is a forum for interested faculty and staff to discuss ways to make AID a stronger presence on campus. AID is well positioned to contribute to the university’s aim of internationalizing the campus through the creation of a Center for Global Development. As
envisioned by the members of AID, this center will deliver demonstrable impact to UWRF stakeholders by providing a platform through which UWRF faculty, students, and resources can be actively engaged towards global development. The goal
of this session is to bring all those interested in global issues to the table to discuss the potential value of and need for UWRF-AID. Please car pool as there is limited parking. Contact paige.miller@uwrf.edu or
