Global Learning Symposium  

On April 4, 2012, following the URSCI Expo, graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and staff showcased learning opportunities at Dominican University that were related to Global Citizenship at the Global Learning Symposium.  The symposium included poster presentations, oral presentations, student panels, and live streaming presentations from students and alumni who are working and learning in Turkey and Cambodia.  To see the full range of presentations that were offered, please click on the pdf icons below.  For printing reasons, there is one pdf document for the cover and a second for the rest of the program.

Mission

The mission of Global and Civic Engagement is to prepare students for lives of vigorous citizenship, informed exchange and just action with others both close to home and across cultural and national boundaries. The office seeks to empower students’ participation in “the creation of a more just and humane world,” by offering them opportunities for cultural engagement, public deliberation, civil debate and civic activity that make informed, even inspired, action for a just and humane world possible.

New and Developing Initiatives

Over the next few years, Global and Civic Engagement will expand its services to further welcome international students, increase domestic students’ opportunities for foreign study fellowships and provide all Dominican students with forums for cross-cultural exchanges, cultural expression, political advocacy and rigorous discussion of local, national and global matters of public concern. We invite everyone in the Dominican community to help us make the Global and Civic Engagement office a home for vital dialogue and public learning.
