In those inaugural comments, I made a first attempt to outline what global education is. I said, “A global education is much more than studying abroad or developing exchange programs. It is an education that ensures that students will be able to succeed in a world marked by interdependence, diversity and rapid change. A global education is one that provides knowledge and understanding of cultures, languages, geography and global perspectives. Most importantly, a global education is one that enables students to understand their roles in a global community and teaches them how their actions can affect citizens throughout the world.” I also might add that it demonstrates how events around the world can affect students in their own lives and therefore cannot be ignored
