Global Warming Discussion: 1st Global Module Discussion Forum between Champlain, USA and Zayed University, UAE http://www.globalmodules.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=34

Global Module News
Champlain College, as part of its twin goals of embedding the Global
Modules approach in our new core curriculum and the college becoming a
true facilitator and promoter of a global network for student dialogue,
has given me the semester off and the resources to expand our network of
partner institutions. Even though it seems like I just stepped off a
plane, I will be turning around in a week and embarking on the longest
trip of the semester. In the space of four weeks I will be visiting the
University of Jordan and Princess Sumaya University in Jordan, Zayed
University in the United Arab Emirates, Kenyatta University and Moi
University in Kenya, and Uganda Christian University and the Islamic
University in Uganda to run workshops and meet with interested faculty
members, administrators and students. Part of this reflects our vision
of having a wide variety of voices represented in our Global Modules
discussions. Even more, however, it expresses our desire to have a very
strong presence in Africa and the Middle East, two areas that are all
too often ignored or vilified in the international press. While we have
a growing network in these two parts of the world, we are always looking
for new partners. If anyone has any suggestions or contacts we would
love to hear from you.
