Task Force on Global Engagement

Global Engagement In October 2005, President Amy Gutmann and Provost Ron Daniels convened the Task Force on Global Engagement to develop and recommend two to three initiatives that would advance the University’s international mission in teaching, research and alumni outreach. The President and Provost stipulated that the initiatives should be affordable and capable of being implemented over a two-year period.

In February 2006, the Task Force issued their recommendations in the Report of the Task Force on Global Engagement.

In April 2006, the President and Provost offered the University's plans for implementing many of these recommendations in Penn’s Global Initiatives Fund Guidelines.
