TLC: A Guide to the Global Distinction Program

Presented by Shannon Hahn, Chair, Foreign Languages/Director, Global Distinction Program; and Mauricio Garcia-Vargas, Instructor, Spanish

Have you ever wondered exactly what the Global Distinction Program is and where your courses might fit in? In this session we will provide an overview of the program and then discuss what it means to “globalize” a course you already teach. We’ll have examples from faculty who have gone through the process as well as offer time for brainstorming ways to highlight global aspects of your courses. We’ll also share possible sources of funding for curriculum development efforts. Feel free to bring a syllabus of a course you might consider globalizing.
