Description:

Global learning, intercultural fluency, and career readiness are vital to the success of our graduates. The current climate, within our academic institutions and the larger society as a whole, has caused us as educators to view our work differently and re-evaluate our practice to ensure our students are adequately prepared for the diverse, ever-changing, workforce. Along with building industry specific knowledge and skills, it is important that students learn to be good stewards, advocates, and change agents who are self-aware, mission-driven, and willing to help positively influence and contribute to individual and collective global and societal issues. So, how do we prepare students for the workforce and ensure the workforce is prepared for them? Through active learning, professional projects, industry partnerships, and real-world case studies, we’ve implemented strategies that foster the attainment of requisite skills and competencies needed to maximize student success.
