This microcredential offers participants a foundational understanding of effective global learning and its integration into student development. Through an exploration of best practices, we will examine strategies for mentoring students throughout their international experiences, with particular attention to short-term global programs. The session will also introduce techniques that will assist the faculty to build upon existing activities and structures, aligning them with applied learning requirements. Emphasis will be placed on how to formalize and enhance the educational value of global experiences to support students' personal, academic, and professional growth.
