About Haenicke Institute for Global Education

The Diether H. Haenicke Institute for Global Education, established by the Board of Trustees in 1998, promotes and supports efforts towards globalization and internationalization of the academic environment of Western Michigan University.

WMU has a long history of international involvement, dating back to 1911, when the University granted its first degree to an international student. WMU opened its first transnational education—or twinning—program in 1987.

Fast facts
