Chancellor’s Global Education Fund

The Chancellor’s Global Education Fund is the only pan-university fund supporting Carolina’s strategic global priorities. Thanks to private gifts from alumni, parents, students and friends, the Chancellor’s Global Education Fund makes possible UNC’s mission to serve the state of North Carolina, the nation and the world.

Annual gifts to the fund give University leaders the flexibility to provide funding to students, faculty and programs supporting Carolina’s top global priorities. Contributions of all levels are important, and gifts can be made online.

With your support, we can…

• Create opportunities for students to learn alongside their global peers from Chapel Hill through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) courses;
• Provide Carolina students with direct access to the world of foreign policy by bringing foreign affairs practitioners — traditionally accessible only in Washington, D.C. — to UNC-Chapel Hill through the Diplomacy Initiative;
• Sponsor hands-on learning experiences like the Global Health Case Competition held by the UNC School of Nursing in December 2021; and
• Develop strategic partnerships with leading international institutions, including King’s College London, National University of Singapore, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen in Germany, the University of San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador and UNC’s global health partnerships in Malawi and Zambia.

Thanks to funding from the Chancellor’s Global Education Fund, faculty have taught more than 40 Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) courses so far, allowing more than 960 students to take part. These partnerships span 25 countries and 32 universities. Students are sharing how this new opportunity for international virtual engagement has influenced the class experience in meaningful ways.

“Hearing what my COIL partner had to say was much more impactful to hear than just reading it from a book or hearing a professor say it. I knew everything coming from my partner was genuine and their experience, so it carried much more weight than I feel other classes and information has.”
