On Nov. 16, Global Hub staff from the Center for Global Engagement and International Operations met to reflect on the year since the Hub was launched in November 2022. The Global Hub retreat – held during International Education Week – brought together staff based in the U.S. and also those based in Malawi, Kenya, and Tanzania.

Looking at website data and usage trends over the last year, the Global Hub has been very effective in streamlining the international travel review and approval process, has developed new procedures for international procurement and payments, and supported a faster and more thorough international MOU development and signing process. The group also discussed challenges and opportunities for growth, including encouraging more use of the UMB Global Footprint map and creating greater awareness of the Global Hub on campus.
