International Engagements are activities and/or relationships at an institutional level (campus or any of its organizational components) that involve significant and/or meaningful interaction, affiliation, collaboration, and/or exchange with a foreign entity.
International engagements involving a country of concern and emerging technology require additional review. Please contact RSIE to initiate the review.
