The Workshop on Intercultural Skills Enhancement (WISE) began in 2008 as a small forum for WFU faculty and counterparts from nearby colleges to exchange strategies around integrating intercultural competency into study abroad courses and program design. WISE has evolved into an internationally-recognized conference – and now virtual event – which connects colleagues interested in expanding their global awareness and impact.
