Since the conference, we have met regularly to discuss how we might disseminate what we learned. This white paper, our statement about Globalization, reflects the ideas from the IGS conference and our discussions with members of the UW-Stout community. During that time, we seven had an opportunity to hear from many other UW-Stout faculty. Thus, what we say here is a broad-scale faculty response to Globalization. We might also say it is the utilization of this knowledge.
Globalization is here.
The effect of other nations upon us is profound. We do live in a global community. We all remember that only a few years ago the Internet was just a novelty, a pedagogical curiosity. Now it is the cutting edge of our profession. Globalization has a similar inevitability, a similar profundity.
