When the COVID 19 pandemic struck last spring, Global Engagement decided to host a series of sessions offering Blue Demons the opportunity to connect and reflect on the impact of COVID-19 with students from across the globe. The next series of Global Conversations is set to kick off in April.
A schedule of events is available below. More details about Global Conversations
and session descriptions are available on the
Global Engagement website. Questions may be directed to
