A faculty development workshop by Dr. Dawn Whitehead (AAC&U)

College students need to be prepared to work in a global context.  Employers are placing more emphasis on hiring candidates with global knowledge and experience. 70% say their company is globally connected.  

"Employers give students especially weak grades on key global learning outcomes: 
1. Problem-solving in diverse groups
2. Scientific literacy
3. Knowledge of global developments and trends
4. knowledge of cultures/societies outside the U.S.
5. Foreign Language proficiency "
