Miller Institute increases # of Brenau students in global experiences

Brenau University’s Miller Institute for Global Education increased the number of students participating in international and global learning experiences by nearly 200% during the 2023-24 academic year.

“It was an incredibly successful year at the Miller Institute, as we were able to support 50 Brenau students to pursue global learning experiences domestically and abroad,” Rosi Ponce Sanabria, the institute’s executive director, said. “This effort was made possible through strong collaboration with faculty members and deans, sponsoring short international programs led by faculty from all four colleges to six different countries. We are excited to continue facilitating these impactful academic experiences for our faculty and students in the coming years.”

The students and their faculty leaders visited six countries.

The Miller Institute was founded in 2022 through a gift from longtime Brenau supporters Pete Miller, secretary of Brenau’s Board of Trustees, and wife Cathy. The institute facilitates global education opportunities, including exchange programs, for Brenau students.
