Study abroad\, virtual exchange\, and globally inclusive campuses offer more than cross-cultural learning; they build the human skills that are difficult for AI to replicate. This session explores how global learning experiences\, whether virtual or physical\, can help students build the adaptability\, empathy\, digital fluency\, and resilience employers now demand. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nWhat skills employers say they need and how global learning delivers them\nTech-enhanced global experiences (COIL\, virtual exchange\, digital storytelling) as scalable equity tools\nReframing global education in career readiness language: Helping faculty\, career services\, and leadership understand the long-term value of global competencies in an AI world.\nCollaboration across units: aligning global education with career development\, AI literacy\, and digital inclusion\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists: \n\nKatie Lander\, Global Director Career & Internship Programs\, CEA CAPA\nEsther-Gail Fraser\, Data Analyst\, OneTrust (Madrid\, Spain)\nKathrina Bell\, Ed.D.\, Adjunct Professor\, Domincan University of California\n\nModerator: \n\nClaudio Castaneda\, Director of Content & Programs\, DA Global Access Network\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Link URL:https://daglobal.org/event/genalpha-ai-webinar/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Community Discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://daglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/gen-alpha-webinar-4.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250819T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250819T134500 DTSTAMP:20250717T063409Z CREATED:20250716T160516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250717T063409Z UID:12658-1755608400-1755611100@daglobal.org SUMMARY:The Access Point | Grounded in Purpose\, Connected in Practice: Reentering the Academic Year with Clarity and Community DESCRIPTION:Global education doesn’t operate in isolation—and neither do we. As higher education faces the continued challenges\, politically and economically\, and shifting student needs\, global education professionals are being asked to do more with less while still holding fast to the values of inclusion\, access\, and opportunity. \nIn this informal facilitated cpmversation\, we’ll reflect on what it means to begin this academic year with intention: grounded in our shared purpose\, and connected through a professional community that understands both the complexity and the promise of this work. \nThis isn’t a webinar or training. It’s a space to share ideas\, to listen generously\, and to remind one another that we’re not in this alone. Whether you’re navigating institutional change\, seeking new ideas\, or simply reconnecting after a busy summer—you’re welcome here. \nRegistration is free for active DA Global Members. \n \n Registration Link\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   URL:https://daglobal.org/event/access-point-aug/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Community Discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://daglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/the-access-point-august-2025.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20250724T130000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20250724T140000 DTSTAMP:20250717T070650Z CREATED:20250702T151521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250717T070650Z UID:12480-1753362000-1753365600@daglobal.org SUMMARY:Realizing Our Impact: Aligning International Education with Higher Education’s Priorities DESCRIPTION:As institutions face growing pressure to demonstrate their impact—from student success and career readiness to community engagement and return on investment—international education must evolve to remain a critical part of the higher education ecosystem. But how can global learning be more than a standalone experience? How can it be integrated into the core strategy of higher education? \nJoin DA Global Access Network for a conversation about how the 4A Framework for High-Impact Global Education can help institutions align global learning with broader priorities—such as academic achievement\, career readiness\, and inclusive campus engagement.We’ll explore how the framework—Awareness\, Assessment\, Action\, and Accountability—can serve as a strategic and adaptable tool to move global education from isolated experiences to integrated institutional assets. \nWhether you’re leading international programs\, overseeing student success efforts\, or working across strategy\, advising\, or inclusive excellence\, this session will offer insight into how global education can deliver tangible value across your institution. \nThis virtual event is free for DA Global active members. \n \n Registration Link\n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists: \n\nJill Blondin\, PhD\, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives\, Virginia Commonwealth University\nBrian Whalen\, PhD\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator: \n\nAndrew J.
