Global Competence
January 14, 2013
Today’s students face a rapidly changing global environment in education, employment, and recreation. In this workshop, the presenters will discuss the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to be competent in a globalized world.
The presenters will discuss and explore the various shades of meaning related to the idea of globalization and the way it is expressed in the Drexel Student Learning Priority associated with “Global Competence.”
Some questions for discussion during the session:
Experts from Drexel’s Modern Languages, Study Abroad, and English Language Center will present information about models of global competence, and discuss opportunities to develop global competence in academic courses, study abroad experiences, and on-campus international student exchange. Participants will then develop a set of action steps relating this information to goals for their own contexts for learning. You will leave the session with more understanding of global competence for your own major and co-op plans, and an understanding of some of the resources and opportunities available at Drexel University.
