In keeping with President Pines' vision that Terps must connect globally to address the Grand Challenges of our times, the Office of International Affairs plans to sponsor a "Global Connections Day" in Spring Term, '22. This event will in fact take place over several consecutive days, and help students at the University of Maryland to interact for 45-60 minutes either with other students at UMD who are from a different country, or with students at one of UMD's global partner institutions. These interactions will involve the sharing of views, feelings and experiences about issues facing us all today, globally, such as climate change, or inequality.
In order to generate maximum interest and participation in Global Connections Day, OIA is organizing a series of small focus groups (6 - 8 students), where students can provide input on how they think this event would best be organized, what topics might be included, what types of activities would be most engaging, etc. If you would be interested in participating in one of these discussions, please visit https://forms.gle/EgnnBmBLozRa5svi7. If you have any questions about these focus group sessions, feel free to email international-info@umd.edu. We very much appreciate your willingness to participate in these formative conversations!
