2011 independent outlook Registration Opens January 20! www.educommconference.com June 13-15, 2011 opportunities for a student in the major include international organizations, international business, economic development, international law, human rights, humanitarian groups, health, the environment, mass communication and a wide variety of government agencies.” We must affirm a global learning emphasis. It is not enough for us to offer short-term learning experiences through study abroad or foreign exchange programs, as these typically affect but a few students. Rather, to ensure that we are truly preparing our students for the dynamic world they will inherit, we must do the following: 1. We must develop among students a comprehensive understanding of and appreciation for the many international opportunities that exist now and will exist in the future. 2. We must provide opportunities for our students to develop knowledge and skills through cross-cultural experiences, and we must connect these experiences in a deliberate way. 3. We must value global experiences and understand how our students can benefit from them. 4. We must encourage and support faculty who are striving to include global learning in their classes. 5. We must commit ourselves to shaping our institutional culture to support and affirm a global learning emphasis. 6. We must determine how best to establish educational outcomes and learning assessment tools to measure our success. 7. We must develop co-curricular opportunities to complement our global academic initiatives. Developing a comprehensive global education program is a daunting process. It must be a university-wide initiative that evolves through deliberate planning. Such an effort requires strong and effective leadership. At McKendree, we believe that global education, in all its forms, will ensure the success of our students in a rapidly changing world.
