Stronger Together

The University of Dayton partners globally with institutions, organizations, and communities to advance learning, research, and meaningful engagement.

Our collaborations—ranging from short-term projects to semester-long exchanges, research initiatives, and virtual education—are grounded in mutual benefit and ethical practices. As members of the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative, we uphold principles of fair trade learning and reciprocal partnership.

Through these high-impact, experiential opportunities, students gain critical skills to thrive in a global society and contribute to a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
