22. QUESTIONS What are we doing to promote international development? Where do we want to be both nationally and internationally? How do we make our vision a reality?

23. How do we educate the local communities surrounding us about international development? What human, financial, and other resources are needed? How do we meet the new challenges? QUESTIONS

24. U.S. universities have the duty and a unique opportunity, more so today than at any time before, to engage globally in international development efforts. These efforts help our students, faculty, communities, and country as well as others around the world. ENGAGE IN THE CHALLENGE!

25. FINAL THOUGHT “And when one day our human kind becomes full grown, it will define itself not as the sum total of the whole world’s inhabitants, but as the infinite unity of their mutual needs” Jean- Paul Sartre in his Preface to Frantz Fanon’s “The Wretched of the Earth”
