Celebrate Community College Month and discover how international education—through Fulbright and Stanford’s Education Partnership for Internationalizing Curriculum (EPIC) fellowships for community college faculty and administrators—builds institutional capacity, enriches curriculum, and supports student success at community colleges nationwide.

Hosted by the Community College Chapter of the Fulbright Association (CCFA) in collaboration with Stanford Global Studies, this one-hour virtual session will take place on April 28, 2026. The event will feature educators sharing how their international engagement strengthened teaching, advanced global learning, and expanded opportunities for community college students.
