Fostering Global Citizenship in Higher Education

Many campuses strive to develop and prepare global citizens. But how do campuses define global citizenship? How can campus departments work collaboratively to determine effective approaches for fostering active citizen engagement? What are the strategies for improving student understanding of global and cross-cultural communities?

The annual Fostering Global Citizenship in Higher Education conference engages participants in a variety of interactive workshops, working team sessions, and curricular design institutes to address these questions.
