Relaunching Global Education

The COVID-19 pandemic has given our world a common cause even as it has isolated us from one another. We must relaunch global education both to meet the challenges of our increasingly interdependent world and our human need for direct personal and cultural interaction.

So as we innovate and relaunch international education, it is vital that we sustain the deep values and rewards of our field – study abroad as a truly immersive experience of constructive, direct engagement with others.

Now, more than ever, global education must focus on authenticity, academic quality, diversity and equity for students who are ready both to re-engage the world around them and to address its fundamental challenges.

Let’s Consider:
  • How can we promote greater diversity and equity in global education?
  • How can Health, Business, Public Policy, STEM and other majors address the pressing social challenges that their home communities share with other cultures?
  • What new Service Learning challenges and opportunities are emerging from this crisis?
  • How can we lower risk, and ensure the well-being of students and their host communities?
  • How do we engage parents and other non-participant stakeholders in a time of increased uncertainty and caution about travel?
  • How can we harness the power of remote learning to enhance global education without diminishing the relevance of direct, on-site engagement?
  • How can experienced on-site academic support supplement or substitute traditional faculty-led programs?
