"The Globally Competent Student Sandra L. Russo and Leigh Ann Osborne What characteristics would a globally competent student possess? What does this student know upon graduation day that a student wi thout this sort of education does not? For some students, all or most of these characteristics are ones that s/he will find ways to develop even if the resources are lacking. For others, they must be convinced of the need to develop global competence. It is the charge of the administrators who decide, th e faculty who teach, the legislators who fund, and the potential employers [private se ctor leaders] who motivate, to leave no doubts in the student's mind about the importance of becoming a globa lly competent student. Our objective, as NASULGC institutions, is to de velop globally competent undergr aduate and graduate students who will become globally competent citizens. "
