Dr. Milton Bennett About the Guest Speaker: Resume Client List Publications and References Biography

Higher education has traditionally taken the responsibility of preparing students to be intellectually competent and ethical citizens of society. But now society has evolved into “global villages” where people of different national and ethnic heritage increasingly live side by side in real and virtual environments. Does this kind of post-modern society demand new intellectual and ethical competencies? If so, what is the responsibility and capability of higher education to teach those competencies? This program will explore how the field of intercultural relations can help address these questions in intellectually coherent and organizationally practical ways.   REGISTRATION for the Program
