Center for International Education, Leadership, & Innovation
Mission Statement
Wheelock College’s Center for International Education, Leadership, and Innovation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children, families and communities internationally. Its aim is to be the preeminent center for training visionary leaders with strong scholarship and experiential knowledge to assume integral roles within a variety of educational settings.
The Center contributes to the internationalization of the Wheelock College community by coordinating all of the College’s global endeavors. This includes the delivery of a range of culturally-responsive, state-of-the-art educational programs abroad in collaboration with local education and health ministries, universities and other educational institutions. Local liaisons earn Wheelock College adjunct faculty appointments to support and enhance the delivery of the overall program. Quality assurance and continuous improvement are thoroughly integrated into every component of the Center’s programs. Currently, the Center has the capacity to offer programs leading to an associate of science, bachelor of science and master of science degrees. Each degree program leads seamlessly from one level to the next.
The Center also ensures the successful implementation and execution of the Presidential International Service Learning and International Visiting Scholar Programs. These endeavors further augment the range of global opportunities, experiences and research available for the benefit of Wheelock College students, faculty and alumni and those of the Colleges of The Fenway.
The Center capitalizes on progressive, innovative and pioneering opportunities abroad to promote Wheelock College’s efforts to maintain and enhance its global impact. Through these programs, the Center endows professionals with the advanced skills, competencies and knowledge that they need to excel in their field. Working collaboratively, the Center supports the development of educational resources to foster and facilitate long-term systemic change in partner countries and it advances a global perspective throughout the Wheelock College community.
