Cultural Competence, First Gen students, and Study Abroad for Changing Times in Higher Education

Cultural Competence, First Gen students, and Study Abroad for Changing Times in Higher Education, Wednesday, November 9th, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 09, 2022

Duke at Home in the World

This panel will examine the changing field of study abroad to center the focus on developing intercultural competencies, increasing access to non-traditional students, and broadening the scope of study abroad learning to include global market needs. We will discuss current issues facing the field by highlighting the increased range of Study Abroad/International Education options now on offer. As higher education strives to address the experiences, expectations, and needs of First-Generation students, diverse, online, and international students, study abroad programming is also pivoting to maintain its significance and demonstrate its relevance.
