ABSTRACT:

From Duke Kunshan University, to research sites in Africa, to work on all seven continents, Duke IT staff are called upon every day to support international programs and initiatives. In this panel discussion, get tips from, and ask questions of, colleagues from OIT, Fuqua, TTS and the University IT Security Office on how to best support international research, teaching and learning. Find out more about how Fuqua supports hundreds of international MBA students; how TTS helps Global Health fulfill their life-changing mission; how OIT helps bring fiber-optic speeds to researchers in the middle of Tanzania; and how your department can plan for international cell phone use without breaking the budget.
