Explore. Discover. Engage.
The Office of Global Engagement facilitates events and activities to immerse students in local cross-cultural experiences, both in and around Elmhurst and the larger Chicagoland area. These globally enriching learning opportunities connect our students, faculty and staff to each other and the world through exploration, discovery and engagement.
The Office of Global Engagement is proud to support student organization events that provide transformative cross-cultural engagement and global learning opportunities for the Elmhurst community. Student organizations can use this form to request funding, 2 to 3 weeks prior to the event. Typically the OGE can provide partial coverage for 1 to 2 events per student group each year.
