KSU Global Forum

 Friday, April 19, 2024 | 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Facilitator: Global Faculty Mutual Mentoring Group
Location: Interactive Research Methods Lab, Bagwell College of Education, Room 403

Kennesaw State University’s Global Faculty Mutual Mentoring Group, Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, and Global Education are pleased to issue a Call For Presentations for the 2024 KSU Global Forum

Since the emergence of the Covid pandemic, educators and researchers have witnessed both the challenges experienced by students as well as novel and innovative student successes in school-based and academic learning. In this year’s forum, we invite faculty and students to share their global experiences and perspectives regarding student success. KSU defines student success as a function of engagement: “doing is the key to learning.” Thus, colleges across campus have embarked on initiatives to increase engagement through “internships, undergraduate research, and service-learning”, as well as activities that encourage students to “apply learning to the real world” (Office of Undergraduate Research, 2003). 

The Global Forum will serve as a venue for presentations and dialogue about:

  • Examples of student success in a changing world
  • Defining and redefining student success
  • Research studies centered on student success in various contexts
  • Classroom pedagogies for engagement and/or student success
  • Community partnerships for student success
  • Assessing student success
  • Study abroad and student success
  • Other topics
