Faculty Development Breakfast Forum, moderated by Joyce P. Peoples, Atlanta Metropolitan College
"Diversity and Globalization: How Does Diversity Help Me Learn and Grow?"

Christopher J. Metzler, The Novellae Group, P.C., Alexandria, Virginia

America used to operate in relative isolation from the rest of the world because it thought it was superior.  The reality is that borders of economy, language, communication and technology are rapidly coming down.  In response to this reality, educators need to prepare and deliver course work that helps the future leaders understand the importance of culture and diversity on their ability to do business in an increasingly global marketplace.  In addition, educators must also be able to discuss leveraging diversity as a competitive advantage.  This interactive workshop helps educators through a process of thinking about diversity and globalization not as a future concept but as a present concept, and also gives participants the opportunity to develop a specific skills set that will help the thinking of students and others with whom they interact on the issue of diversity and its global impact.
