22 Internationalization will be Impactful I challenge my faculty/staff to be free thinkers – Inside the box is easy, outside the box is fun I challenge my faculty/staff to be innovative – Same old methods aren’t effective I challenge my faculty/staff to be entrepreneurial in spirit – Take a risk once in awhile; rewarding with dividends – Ok to fail, but work to insure a high level of confidence for success

23 Responsibilities of Global Citizens Share a commitment to form communities that are diverse both in terms of ethnicity, culture, education and religion Share a commitment to form communities that are tolerant of these differences and share in their understanding (keeps some curvature in the world) Share a commitment to form a scientifically literate and questioning citizenry We will all be sharing this shrunken world ….. S&T brings us ever closer Help people understand science and technology and the effects it can have on their lives – both the desirable and the undesirable
