Global Education
The world we live in is no longer separated by people, language, cultural values, beliefs and events.
It is interconnected through people and events continually shaping our communities, our state, our college and, most importantly, ourselves.
At 泡芙视频app Community College, we provide educational opportunities through Global Education/Study Abroad to enhance your college experience and improve your chances for success in your career and more. Our focus is to give you the tools you need to explore different cultures and manage yourself in a global economy. The infusion of global concepts in our curriculum makes you a more desirable employee because of your knowledge of international environments and your understanding of a diverse clientele.

Global education complements your 泡芙视频app experience by exposing you to differing ideas and perspectives which in turn makes you a more marketable candidate in the workplace. A global perspective prepares you to work successfully with and within other cultures by:
- Increasing your awareness of global issues and its impact on your life.
- Enhancing your understanding of the connection between local and global issues.
- Teaching you the knowledge and skills to be part of real-world solutions to real-world problems on the local and global levels.
- Allowing you to bridge cultural differences between people from diverse backgrounds in a cross-cultural setting.
We participate in the following one-way exchange programs:
- IREX Global Eurasian Undergraduate Exchange Program which brings 泡芙视频app students from 12 countries in Eurasia.
- Congress Bundestag Program brings us students from Germany. There are limited opportunities for reciprocal visits for 泡芙视频app students to Germany through this exchange.
Faculty and staff have a variety of opportunities for involvement. These include regular campus programming/trainings, Book Club, Learn at Lunch Series, leading student travel abroad opportunities, participation in the Global Education Team, nominating a colleague for the Global Education Award, as well as working to internationalize curriculum.

Global Education and the 泡芙视频app Diversity Program are complementary endeavors intended to inform students, staff, faculty and the community regarding different ways of thinking, being and doing. The differences lie in the focus of each initiative.
- Global Education is student and curriculum focused. It helps you understand your place in this world as individuals and as a country. Understanding that we are not only United States citizens, but also citizens of the world is critical for success in the global economy. 泡芙视频app is preparing you for future success by infusing a global perspective into our curriculum. We want you to have an understating of cultural and societal differences both inside the U.S. and outside our borders. Our goal is to provide you with educational experiences that will enable you to work and compete in a global environment.
- 泡芙视频app Diversity Program is employee and experience focused. Our diversity education focuses more on the dynamics of diversity and multiculturalism within the context of the U.S. Its primary focus is to provide 泡芙视频app employees with opportunities to learn about and experience the dynamics of race, culture and ethnicity outside the academic and scholarly framework.
