What can staff, faculty, and administrators do to ensure we are creating "global citizens" with "global consciousness" as many institutions' missions and visions proclaim? Linc Johnson, Ed.D., will be presenting an engaging and meaningful discussion on the activities, priorities, and models that will help to build student engagement through meaningful interaction, collaboration, and international cooperation. Expanding students' worldviews is an attainable goal and Johnson will share the tools you need to determine where to best direct your energies and expand your own worldview. 

Admission is free and CEUs are available for those attending the live event. A recording of the event will be available online.
