UC Davis Global Learning Conference
Advancing Global Inclusion through Purposeful Engagement and Action
Saturday, April 6, 2024
The UC Davis Global Learning Conference strives to offer a balanced and informative conference that engages students with their global learning experiences in a way that is both reflective and forward thinking.
The proposal selection committee will include sessions spanning a variety of topics. We are looking for session proposals with a global focus on career preparation, reflection, adaptation, and connection. Sessions may also include helping students reflect on their experiences with global learning as related to their personal identities, academic experiences, and career interests, connect global learning with career development, and focus on awareness and the solving of global challenges.
Note: Global learning at UC Davis is a combination of local, regional, national, and international experiences through which students develop key skills, knowledge, and networks that help them build global awareness, engage with diverse cultures and experiences, and pursue collaborative and equitable global action.
