CLAC 2014

In this talk, Dr. Weinberg will pull from two sets of disperse experiences to outline a new set of questions as it relates to technology and higher education. For 8 years, Dr. Weinberg helped lead World Learning, a global organization focused on educating young people from 140 countries to address critical global issues. In July 2013, Dr. Weinberg become the President of Denison University. From these experiences, Dr. Weinberg has become interested in how higher education can prepare a rising generation to address a myriad of critical global issues from climate change to social violence by equipping them with the capacity to thrive in diverse environments, embrace rapid change, and think entrepreneurially. He believes doing this requires internationalizing our campuses in ways that makes technology central. Dr. Weinberg will argue the answers are easy, but we need to get the questions right. He will reflect on his first year at Denison to lay out a series of questions that would shift how we define internationalization, the role of technology on our campuses, and the educational strategies that are driving higher education.
