Attending the 16th general conference of the International Association of Universities (IAU) in Dublin this October, I was pleased to accept on behalf of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s a 카지노 게임 컬렉션Learning Badge카지노 게임 컬렉션 that confirmed the progress our university is making in its planning and strategy for internationalization. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Global engagement카지노 게임 컬렉션 is the term we prefer to use for this aspect of our work because it suggests a higher degree of intentionality and purposiveness 카지노 게임 컬렉션 not mere acquiescence in a process driven by circumstance. Universities typically understand that aspects of their mission 카지노 게임 컬렉션 research in particular 카지노 게임 컬렉션 are conducted in an international context, but they do not always construe that mission in terms of their global responsibility. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Strategic Framework, approved by the Trustees in May of 2021, does so pointedly: 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community 카지노 게임 컬렉션 our people 카지노 게임 컬렉션 will solve the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s most significant and urgent challenges with their intellectual curiosity, passion to achieve, and commitment to collaborate.카지노 게임 컬렉션 This issue of the Alumni Review highlights some of the ways in which our people are indeed changing the world, and we know there are countless others in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s family who are working to do so on a daily basis. That is exactly what global engagement is all about. It is not merely a question of student or faculty mobility 카지노 게임 컬렉션 important and vital though that is for the social and intellectual life of any academic institution that wants to call itself a university 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and it is not just about having an internationalized curriculum. The essence of global engagement is the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s orientation to the greater good.
A recent report from the International Commission on the Futures of Education notes that 카지노 게임 컬렉션Education must aim to unite us around collective endeavours and provide the knowledge, science, and innovation needed to shape sustainable futures for all anchored in social, economic and environmental justice. It must redress past injustices while preparing us for environmental, technological, and social changes on the horizon.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Against the values of 카지노 게임 컬렉션individual success, national competition and economic development카지노 게임 컬렉션 the report posits the need for 카지노 게임 컬렉션solidarity, understanding our interdependencies, and caring for each other and the planet.카지노 게임 컬렉션 I was proud to have Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s global engagement efforts recognized by the IAU precisely because they are animated by those last three principles, and by an acknowledgement that when we engage with the globe, we are engaging with ourselves and our immediate communities no less than with cultures, peoples, and problems geographically remote.
