Capturing the Passion: Engaging Returning Abroad Students in Local Communities
Re-entry Part 2: Institution-Wide Change
Adam Weinberg, Wold Learning/School for International Training; Joan Mandle, Democracy Matters
As students return from transformational experiences abroad, they are eager for ways to put into action their newfound global awareness and inter-cultural understanding. In order to fully capture this passion, Universities need to consider holistic and institutional changes that weave global understanding and civic engagement into all aspects of campus life. This workshop will focus on how campus offices can work together to create long-term institutional changes that foster global citizenship throughout students' entire college experiences.
