UC Systemwide Academic Congress: Shaping Global Futures
Join us via Zoom for the next UC Systemwide Academic Congress: Shaping Global Futures — International Education in the California Context. Taking place June 16-17, 2026, this two-day virtual Congress convenes UC faculty, administrators, international partners, and alumni to reimagine what internationalization means for one of the world’s premier public university systems.
As the University of California navigates an era of geopolitical uncertainty, shifting federal policy, and deepening global inequity, this Congress explores a forward-looking strategy for global engagement rooted in California’s distinctive values and responsibilities through conversations on equitable research partnerships, workforce readiness, “glocal” learning, and the support of international students.
