A capacity building network to scale global engagement.

No. The Impact Partner Program is a student success partnership centered on global engagement, not a membership association. DA Global has evolved from a membership association into a student success organization, and our partnerships reflect that shift. Where our previous membership model centered almost exclusively on advocacy, the IPP gives institutions operational infrastructure: a student engagement platform, professional development tools, strategic consultation, and thought leadership resources.

DA Global isn’t an association. Most associations in international education offer community, advocacy, and access to events and publications. This is important work, but it’s not DA Global’s focus.

Our focus is on delivering practical and action-oriented thought leadership, products and services, and professional development opportunities that give our partners the capacity to achieve three things:

• Increasing participation in global programs
• Inclusive preparation and support, so every student can succeed in them
• Developing the competencies that connect global experience to broader success — academic, personal, and career.

More students participating in a high-impact practice — prepared and supported well — is what drives the student success impact institutions are measured on.

Partnership investment is based on undergraduate enrollment because BeGlobali primarily serves students navigating global learning for the first time, which is predominantly though not exclusively an undergraduate experience. Graduate students benefit from the same preparation, identity, and re-entry resources and are not excluded. Institutions with atypical enrollment profiles — primarily graduate programs or significant online populations — can contact DA Global to discuss their tier placement.

Global engagement is one of the highest-impact practices in higher education, linked to stronger retention rates, persistence, and first destination success. Yet for most institutions, global engagement lives in one office, serves a fraction of the student population, and rarely appears in the dashboards leadership uses to make decisions. The IPP — structured around DA Global’s 4A Framework for High Impact Global Engagement — gives institutions the platform, professional capacity, and strategic alignment to make global learning a measurable contributor to the student success outcomes your institution is already being held accountable for.

The IPP is priced as an entry point, starting at $2,400 annually for smaller institutions. Special pricing is available for community colleges and HBCUs. The case rests on three things: staff capacity (your team deploys resources instead of building them), student reach (every student has access to preparation and discovery tools, not just those who seek them out), and institutional alignment (global engagement connects to the retention, persistence, and career readiness outcomes your institution is already tracking). DA Global can provide thought leadership insights to support your internal proposal. Contact us to request materials.

Yes. Both are available as standalone options. Professional Access gives your team the DA Global Knowledge Hub, professional development resources, and field connection — without a student-facing platform. Student Platform Access gives your campus BeGlobali Essential campus-wide — without the professional development component. The Impact Partner Program bundles both together at a savings over purchasing separately. Many institutions start with one and add the other when the timing is right.

Any office that touches global engagement. Professional seats are designed to be distributed across education abroad, international student services, health and safety, experiential learning, and career services. Every seat holder gets full access to the DA Global Knowledge Hub, Quests learning sprints, and professional development, regardless of which office they sit in.

Essential covers the discovery phase — recruitment and financial planning pathways, limited-view country hubs, and visibility into scholarships, paid internships, and entry-level jobs in the field — plus a foundational health and safety layer: a pre-departure prep checklist, curated health and safety resources, and incident reporting. Structured pre-departure, on-program, re-entry, and identity-specific training, along with full country hubs and documentation, are available with Campus Hub — Plus and Custom.

Minimal. Students access BeGlobali through their institutional email, Google, or LinkedIn. No app download or IT configuration is required for Essential access. For institutions upgrading to BeGlobali Campus Hub — Plus or Custom, SSO integration is available and handled by DA Global’s implementation team.

No additional staff time is required. DA Global builds, maintains, and updates all BeGlobali content. Your team doesn’t build anything or keep anything current. Resources can be embedded directly into your existing advising workflows, pre-departure checklists, or student communication pipelines. BeGlobali works alongside what you already have.

BeGlobali is not a replacement for your student information or advising workflow systems. It sits alongside them as a student-facing resource and professional development platform. Resources and links can be embedded into existing advising pipelines, pre-departure communications, and Canvas courses. SSO integration with institutional systems is available with Campus Hub — Plus or Custom.

Yes. A few paths work independently of the Impact Partner Program:

BeGlobali Plus or Custom — the full student platform, including structured pre-departure, on-program support, re-entry, identity-specific training, and full country hubs — available without the IPP’s professional development or visibility components.

Global EDGE Certificate — the career readiness credential, available on its own for institutions that want to offer it to students without a broader partnership.

Advisory Services — strategy, training, or implementation support on a project basis.

The Global Impact Conference — open registration each year, partner or not.

Previously, DA Global operated as a membership association focused on advocacy and awareness. The Impact Partner Program is a different category of relationship. You are investing in infrastructure your institution or organization deploys — a student platform, a professional development hub for your team, and strategic insights that connect global engagement to your institutional priorities. Our work isn’t about advocacy and branding. It’s about building and growth.
