Project Overview and Goals
The purpose of this project is to assist Western Washington University (WWU) to plan, organize and develop a focused initiative to strengthen and improve its undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign languages. Specifically, Entering the Global Community seeks to expand the involvement of WWU students and faculty in the study of contemporary international affairs. One of its primary goals is to establish a global policy concentration within the Minor in International Studies and to provide a supporting curricular foundatino for it. Another is to enhance campus offerings of language and culture courses related to portions of the Asia-Pacific region. Additional objectives of the project include the furthering of interdisciplinary and collaborative curriculum development by the faculty, an expansion of study abroad and service- learning opportunities for students and faculty, the provision of in-service training for K-12 teachers of the region and the development of shard international resources between Western Washington Universiy and the broader north Puget Sound area.
