Brief Overview How well are we preparing our graduates to understand and address the major global issues they will confront as citizens of the United States? How will these issues impact our academic plans?
Join us as we examine seven global issues that the world will face between now and 2025. Our guest will be Erik R. Peterson, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to provide world leaders with strategic insights on, and policy solutions to, current and emerging global challenges. Peterson focuses on the seven revolutions in the areas of (1) population; (2) strategic resource management; (3) technological innovation and diffusion; (4) the flow of information and knowledge; (5) global economic integration; (6) the nature and mode of conflict and (7) the challenge of governance.
Who Should Participate
Academic and institutional leaders are using this content-rich and high-level briefing to focus on strategic trends and long-range thinking as they shape their institutional curriculum and their academic plans. It's designed to stimulate thinking about major global influences which will impact us all. It's also an excellent program to share with students to engage them in these discussions.
