Presentation title: "Global Innovation for the Public Good: Advancing Our Societies Locally and Globally"
While innovation has been a hallmark of higher education since its inception, some have argued that "higher education moves at the speed of a glacier." When innovation does come, it should transform both our institutions and society. One of the purposes of higher education is to create and use knowledge to improve people's lives, but the impacted individuals are not limited to a five-mile radius of our campuses. The impact should extend to our local and global communities for the public good. Students must have opportunities to engage with global challenges through global and local lenses and diverse disciplinary lenses. This keynote will explore how colleges and universities can embed global innovation into the contemporary education experience for all students and make the case for this innovative learning for our times.
1:15 PM | KEYNOTE PANEL: Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards and Dr. Dawn Michele Whitehead
Panel title: "Global Education for Career Readiness and Community Impact."
