Faculty Conversation: Curricular Designs for Global Learning
Thursday, November 20, 2014
3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
PY #405
How are colleges and universities reimagining undergraduate curricula and majors to help students thrive in a globally interconnected world? Many institutions include as part of their mission statements promises to prepare all of their graduates for active, successful engagement in the global community. Such promises are often more easily made than kept. During this collaborative NAFSA Academic Programs Faculty Conversation, leading experts will share models of curricular designs driven by mission-level global learning commitments and aligned with clearly articulated student learning outcomes. Participants will then join the conversation to explore key issues, questions, and obstacles shaping campus conversations about global learning.
Faculty Conversations are designed for faculty members, academic leaders, researchers, and international educators interested in student learning outcomes and the educational experiences—curricular and co-curricular—created to help students gain and practice global knowledge, skills, and perspectives. All interested faculty are invited to attend. This webinar is hosted by NAFSA Association of International Educators.
