OVERVIEW
GOALS:
Over the years, hundreds of college and university faculty, staff and administrators from across the country and around the world have shared their good practices, how they overcame challenges, and gathered to enhance the good work they are doing or start a new program. We hope you will consider joining us!
1. Faculty, staff, and administrators from colleges and universities come together to work to further build capacity in their peace, conflict, and global studies courses, degrees, certificates, and related programming. All participants that attend are asked to participate and share their experience with their colleagues.
2. College faculty/staff and/or administrators will focus on capacity building around one or more of three core areas as they work to develop and enhance their action plans around:
a) Capacity Building and Sustainability of Programs
b) Course Development/Integration
c) Supplemental Programming
