International Leadership Series
Your learning, thinking and actions—both now and after graduating—are integral to achievement of a more just, secure and sustainable global future. In an effort to fulfill the university’s mission to build the global citizens at TAMIU, The Office of Student Orientation, Leadership and Engagement and the Office of International Engagement teamed up to create the International Leadership Series (ILS). That is why the International Leadership Series, a premier leadership program, is comprised of 60-minute speaker seminars, featuring speakers discussing domestic and global challenges, that examine the seven elements of global citizenship as defined by Oxfam.
In the 2020-2021 Academic Year, social justice and equity was the central element under examination. Stay tuned for the 2021-2022 Academic Year selected element of global citizenship!
Our theme for the 2021-2022 academic year is Human Rights!
As part of the International Leadership Series this year, we hope participants are able to see themselves as social change advocates. It is important to understand specific concepts and analyze the role they play.
Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings - they are not granted by any state.
