Why consider living in a Global Village learning community?

Our world is increasingly becoming a global village, or rather, a world connected by electronics and technology. In addition, our world is also experiencing globalization, which is interaction and integration among people, companies and governments of many nations.

Globalization offers the potential to enrich the world culturally and creates an environment where elements of different cultures spread from one society or social group to another, often creating positive social change on issues including human rights, democracy, and even world health matters.

Global competency is an important skill set that is applicable to all academic disciplines. The Global Village welcomes students from all majors.

The Global Village’s goal is to prepare and empower you to face global realities by providing quality international learning experiences around citizenship, responsibility, and action in the global community. Some focuses of the Global Village will include:

  • Enhancing Global Knowledge, which can include learning a language, exploring global and cultural issues from multiple perspectives, exploring historical, cultural, and other underlying influences, and considering economic, environmental, societal, cultural, and other contextual global complexities.
  • Developing Global Skills, which help with participating in interactions with others who are culturally different than you.
  • Cultivating Global Attitudes, which includes developing an appreciation for differences, learning to view experiences through different perspectives, and respecting and protecting human dignity.
