With its deep roots in civic-mindedness, a global civic mindset requires individuals to question their intellectual perspectives and their own identities while also forging a strong commitment to social and civic responsibility at the local, global and international levels. As students develop a global civic mindset, they focus on who they are becoming and how they can practice dispositions and skills in their civic and emerging professional lives. Dr. Dawn Whitehead will explore what makes a global civic mindset and, more important, how universities can provide learning opportunities to cultivate this development. Dr. Whitehead is visiting Lehigh as the Global Citizenship Scholar-in-Residence. Boxed lunches will be available for attendees following her remarks.

During this interactive, small-group workshop, Dr. Dawn Whiteheadwill unpack the term “high impact practice,” explore what makes an experience high impact and identify approaches for how to design such experiences. High-impact practices are active learning practices that promote deep learning by promoting student engagement. Education abroad programs are considered among the most effective high-impact practices. Faculty and staff who are interested in developing, are currently teaching, or are leading global programs (in-person or virtual) are encouraged to attend.
