The UNMC Office of Global Engagement promotes global understanding and awareness, and advances internationalization efforts throughout the UNMC community. The Office of Global Engagement serves UNMC students, staff and faculty through a variety of programs and services.
For international participants, services offered include non-immigrant visa processing, employer-sponsored immigration and various social and cultural activities (such as our international student orientation program for new-to-the-US students) and the Global Ambassador program to support new international students.
Individual assistance is offered to students who wish to study or volunteer abroad. We provide comprehensive support for global health experiences, ranging from one week to nine months. Our services include:
- Information on medical/health electives
- Access to programs in dozens of worldwide locations
- Travel insurance and financial assistance guidance
- Personalized program selection
- Streamlined application arrangements
- Essential pre-departure orientation
The OGE sponsors the Student Alliance for Global Health (SAGH), which organizes annual medical service spring break trips abroad and local service projects for UNMC students. SAGH also hosts monthly presentations related to global health and medicine and offers annual Medical Spanish classes, participates in a local monthly food pantry and sponsors philanthropic projects. The Office of Global Engagement also supports the International Student Association (ISA), which plans activities and events that celebrate the richness of cultures represented on UNMC’s campus.
