Community college students are transitioning into a global workforce where they will need to adapt to evolving local and global challenges and opportunities. The 2024 UNC World View Community College Symposium, "Thriving Globally: What's Next for Community College Students," will bring community college educators together to explore global themes that are relevant to various disciplines, including business, health, and education.

Educators will engage in plenary talks, panel discussions, and interactive themed sessions to gain global knowledge and resources on how to incorporate global teaching and learning.

This program is designed for community college educators of all disciplines, as well as administrators and staff. We encourage you to bring a team to this day of learning and networking!
