Global Forces—Shaping Higher Education
Higher education leaders in the United States are keenly aware that the lack of international focus in our institutions is a deficit that must be corrected. There is a growing interest in the impact of globalization on higher education and the responsibilities we must shoulder in adequately educating our students. This keynote address will pose key questions and stimulate thinking and dialogue to position U.S. institutions better to prepare our students.
