Description:

When students apply what they learn in your course, how might it impact people across the globe?

How can we prepare our students to succeed as professionals in and make a positive contribution to the globalized world?

Join your colleagues as we share ideas and hear student perspectives about how we can “ensure that we are graduating good global citizens” as the Georgia Tech Strategic Plan calls us to do.  Participants will also work together to consider practical opportunities in every day class settings to foster student development in this regard.

This seminar will feature faculty speakers who are among those who have taken the lead on campus in working with students to explore the meaning of global citizenship and to build curricular and co-curricular opportunities for developing global citizens.
