Hi Janet:

 

I suggested this topic to Jim (others may also have).  I mentioned that
I had heard a college president from Albany state that his greatest
concern was to make his students aware of the increasing impact of
globalization on their lives.  In my opinion, this could relate to
international competition for jobs; the need to understand and respect
other cultures (although yesterdays vote might indicate general
unwillingness to do this); etc.  I also heard someone talking the other
day about a number of commonly used products and services, and the fact
that all the companies that made/provided them were owned by foreign
investors.  I was not aware of many of them, and am sure our students
are also not.  I believe we, as faculty, need to make our students more
conscious of such issues, and think a TB discussion of what and how
would be useful.  I am sure there are also other items that should be on
this list.

 

Bob

Hell JIm and all, 
The teaching breakfast topic looks interesting, but I'd be grateful if
we could have some suggestion PRIOR to our meeting of what the TB means
when it speaks of "globalization."

Thanks

The next Teaching Breakfast will be November 4 at 8:00 AM in Morris Hall

room 103.  The topic will be: 

Seeking better and more ways to address the impact globalization is
having 
on our students in all disciplines. 

The final Teaching Breakfast of the semester will be Dec. 2 at 8 AM in 
Morris Hall room 103.  The topic for this get together will be: 

How to make connections with students.  Faculty tend to agree that 
students who make connections with their  professors often do better.
How 
can we create a climate in our classes and at the college where  more 
students make connections with teachers.  What do you do that works? 

Invite a member of your department to come with you!!  Hope to see you
all 
there.
