Description
Final summary of the table discussion on the topic of harmonizing education for local concerns with global issues.
The scope of discussion included curriculum, pedagogy, extracurricular opportunities for students, and faculty development. After exploring the varied connections between local and global, the majority of comments focused on ensuring a global/ international perspective in the curriculum, recognizing the value of language learning for a broad spectrum of life and career pathways, and supporting faculty development of pedagogical techniques that foster intercultural/ global competencies. Participants highlighted the rich cultural diversity on campus, and proposed that we find more ways to foster multicultural interactions outside of as well as inside the classroom. Finally, participants recognized the need to hire and retain faculty from diverse cultures and backgrounds.
