The Global Alliance is a multilateral partnership of equals intended to strengthen education in the liberal arts and sciences.
Specifically, The Global Alliance's strength derives from expertise and experience sharing, and its emphases on the challenges and
opportunities facing institutions that educate graduates for citizenship and leadership in the highly-globalized twenty-first century.
In
order to realize the following objectives, The Global Alliance will concertedly forge links amongst participating colleges through
programs that:
1. Allow institutional leaders - particularly presidents - to address common issues that all liberal arts
institutions, irrespective of location, confront in their quest to operate effectively and to prepare students to be engaged and contributing citizens;
2.
Develop the expertise of faculty members and administrators, augment academic and nonacademic programs, improve the manner in which
colleges operate, and enhance the success of Alliance institutions; and
3. Promote international understanding and enhance discussion
concerning the economic, political, social, intercultural and other challenges facing societies where Alliance colleges are located
