Proposed Global Leadership Certificate<\/h3>\n

Note: This certificate is to serve as a model and may be renamed by any UW campus<\/strong> that chooses to adopt it. That said if it is to exemplify Global Leadership<\/strong>, campuses may NOT remove<\/strong> some level of language requirement and a study abroad, internship or service learning component outside of one’s own culture community. “One’s own culture\u00a0community” is defined as the one in which a person has been raised. (IE. One who was adopted internationally to a US family as an infant or child may choose to return to their birth country for service. Similarly a Hmong student raised in a Hmong family may not do service in the local Hmong community but could do service\u00a0in the Hispanic community in their hometown.)<\/p>\n

UW Global Leadership Certificate<\/span><\/h2>\n
Rationale: <\/span><\/h5>\n

\u201cIn <\/span>Educating for Global Competence<\/span><\/a>, Veronica Boix-Mansilla and Anthony Jackson define global competence as \u201cthe capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance.\u201d In this context, the word “global” refers not just to different places on the planet, but to the great variety of interconnected people, cultures, ideas, problems, and opportunities that constitute all human experience. The globally competent student learns how to synthesize information and ideas from many sources and perspectives, and makes well-informed decisions to acct on what is learned. It is this constellation of knowledge, disposition, and action that characterizes Global Leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

Global Leadership gives students many opportunities to transcend their local boundaries by developing global competence across disciplines of art, English language arts, history\/social studies, mathematics, science, and world languages. A well-rounded global curriculum not only opens students’ eyes, but sets the stage for them to act in ways that are inspired by their course of study and driven by a desire to make a difference locally, regionally, and globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Overview: <\/span><\/h5>\n

Students from any discipline can earn the UW Global Leadership Certificate. This certificate will appear on student transcripts so as to alert potential employers or graduate school admissions officers to coursework and service learning that increased students\u2019 global competence, addressed cultural diversity, and included a minimum of 2 semesters intermediate level language study in addition to service learning and\/or study abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

The service learning component may include an overseas experience studying and\/or working within a non-English speaking culture or it may be a local experience working in the community with members of a migrant\/immigrant\/refugee culture different from that of the student\u2019s culture. This component may be organized through a campus department or approved by the world languages department if found independently by the student. <\/span><\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/h5>\n

The UW Global Leadership Certificate is designed to meet the needs of all UW campuses in providing credentialing for students of any discipline who demonstrate through curricular choices a proclivity for global competence and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n
