    Mission Statement
    The Center for International Education at Georgia Perimeter College functions as a centralized office to help coordinate and provide internationalizing opportunities to students, faculty, and staff.  The goal is to create a more globally competent community of learners who 1) have an increased understanding of the interconnectedness of peoples and systems, 2) a general knowledge of history and world events, 3) an appreciation for different languages and cultures.  Georgia Perimeter College provides the foundation for its members to live and work successfully in an increasingly diverse society and interdependent world.  In order to achieve this vision, the college is committed to an ongoing and recursive international educational and experiential process.

    Grant Announcement

    The Center for International Education at GPC has received a grant from the Georgia Humanities Council to support the project "History and Culture of Peasant China."  The project will bring an historical and cultural slice of China that is not commonly viewed to the newest of Georgia Perimeter's campuses:  Newton Campus in Covington.  The exhibit and lectures will occur in February.  More detailed information will be coming shortly.  Meanwhile, please take a look at the Georgia Humanities Council website [link] and the New Georgia Encyclopedia [link]
