On Friday, October 16, 2020, members of the Global Engagement in the Liberal Arts Conference Community, along with the Community-based Global Learning Collaborative and the Haverford College Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, joined together for this important and current conversation. This event was part of the Haverford College Center for Peace and Global Citizenship’s 20th anniversary series.

In the name of education that is enriching, engaging and relevant both with respect to students’ trajectories and in terms of understanding and addressing 21st Century Challenges, faculty, staff, students and community partners have worked to better align interdisciplinary global engagement programs. During this opportunity for connection and conversation a range of faculty, staff, and administrative voices shared about the progress they have made on these efforts at selective liberal arts institutions.
