Global Studies in the Arts and Humanities (GSAH) is excited to announce that Michigan State University (MSU) was selected as a 2023 Mandela Washington Fellowship Leadership Institute in Civic Engagement. Beginning in mid-June, MSU will host 25 of Africa’s bright, emerging civic engagement leaders for a six-week professional development exchange, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and implemented by IREX.

As we welcome 2023, we are especially aware of how interconnected we are today, and how local events can have a global reach. VIPP's 2023 Global Virtual Winter School kicked-off with a timely new course for the semester: Social Media for Social Change. This course invites students to explore the relationships between social media and social movements in global contexts and how technology has changed the way people mobilize around current events. Students from the Communication University of China, Zhejiang University, and Jimei University joined this unique virtual course, taught by Dr. Salah D. Hassan, Director of Global Studies in the Arts and Humanities Program at Michigan State University, and Dr. Ivan Maksymyk of the HEC Montréal Department of Information Technology. Since the pandemic, VIPP has run five Virtual Winter and Summer Schools attended by over 260 students from 30 universities and 10 countries, providing a meaningful educational and exchange experience for students who are unable to travel to MSU!
