How might we increase collaboration between the College and the schools in teaching international studies and in supporting efforts at foreign outreach and technical assistance “We [in Area Studies] see relatively little use of [our] wealth of language and regional knowledge in the training of professional schools or in backing up the efforts of your school to deliver assistance in foreign areas.” – David L. Ransel “We [in the School of HPER] have made relatively little use of the wealth of language and regional knowledge in Area Studies and so let’s change that.” – Robert M. Goodman

  9. “’Global Competency’ Is Imperative for Global Success,” Chronicle of Higher Education, January 30, 2009, p. A29. Fernando Reimers – Professor of International Education and Director of the International Education Policy Program, Harvard Graduate School of Education. • Global Competency – “the knowledge and skills that help [students] cross disciplinary domains to comprehend global events and respond to them effectively.”

  10. Three interdependent dimensions: • “A positive approach toward cultural differences and a willingness to engage those differences” • Empathy with people with other cultural identities • Interest and understanding of various civilizations and their histories • Respectful and peaceful transactions • “The ability to speak, understand, and think in several foreign languages” • “Broad and deep knowledge of world history, geography, and global aspects of health care, climate change, economics, politics, international relations and other issues.”

  11. Ideas for Increasing Collaboration Place the School of HPER on your radar screen Let’s be proactive collectively Become involved in (and supportive of) HPER’s required General Education course: Cross-cultural Immersion in Promoting Health, Wellness, & Quality of Life of Nations From global perspectives, students critically will analyze physical, social, and mental health of populations in nations, and their quality of life; assess the many indigenous factors that cross-culturally influence health and wellness; and acquire instruction and field experiences with our partner universities in the Far East, Near East, and Caribbean. Work with us on language proficiency and cultural literacy Integrate HPER’s expertise in public health promotion, disease prevention and wellness
