World View’s 2012 Community College Symposium topic is Population and Migration: A World on the Move. We will explore the causes, extent, and ramifications of migration in an interconnected world, the relationship between the environment and migration, refugees, human trafficking, the African diaspora, immigration to North Carolina, the impact of immigration on the local economy, and more. Population issues will include global population and food distribution, population and urbanization in China, and human settlements and the natural environment. There also will be a special screening of the film My Neighborhood.
This symposium offers general sessions, concurrent sessions, and a hands-on session on integrating global issues into your courses. The symposium is designed for administrators and faculty of all disciplines, providing current information and unique strategies for helping students learn about the world. Professional Development Contact Hours will be offered.
