Otterbein Featured in the International Educator
“Shared Futures: Global Learning and Liberal Education” was a 3-year initiative sponsored by the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Otterbein College was 1 of 16 institutions selected to participate in the program which challenged institutions to transform their core curricula so that students become more global-minded, ethical, and engaged.
In the latest issue of the International Educator (published by NAFSA: Association of International Educators), Otterbein’s role in the Shared Futures project as well as the new Integrative Studies curriculum are highlighted.
