Global Initiatives at Hotchkiss help our intentionally diverse community thrive on campus and provide support and opportunities for students and faculty to engage with the world beyond the Scoville Gate.


The Center for Global Understanding and Independent Thinking

Established in 2008, the Center for Global Understanding and Independent Thinking (CGUIT) has made it possible for Hotchkiss to host luminaries and speakers from all over the world, including heads of state and visionary thinkers. The programming focuses on faculty development, and has encouraged the integration of global perspectives and issues in our curriculum.
