What does this student know upon graduation day that a student wi thout this sort of education does not?

For others, they must be convinced of the need to develop global competence.

Our objective, as NASULGC institutions, is to de velop globally competent undergr aduate and graduate students who will become globally competent citizens. "

Our programs support people in sharing and bearing witness to stories that lead to learning, action, and positive change.
