McGill’s International Engagement unit is responsible for operationalizing the strategic vision for McGill’s global engagement and for clearly communicating that vision to McGill’s internal and external stakeholders. The unit supports the implementation of the international components of McGill’s Strategic Academic Plan 2017-2022 and provides guidance to Faculties on Faculty-specific international initiatives that support the Academic Plan. The unit facilitates international agreements with partner institutions that have a university-wide benefit, encouraging research collaboration, revenue-generating opportunities, and international mobility across the globe. Support provided by the unit also contributes to advancing social accountability and social justice programs in a global context, including development programs and programs tied to sustainable development goals. The unit also collaborates closely with other units, including Research and Innovation, to identify potential areas of risk for foreign interference and to implement risk-mitigation measures. Additionally, the international engagement unit capitalizes on the geographic expertise of its team to identify potential opportunities for expanded international engagement and shares those opportunities with relevant Faculties and internal stakeholders.
