Life of the Mind Series

"It is our responsibility to make it possible for our emerging leaders to better understand the world we share, and to engage others to do so, before we start trying to change it."

-Nicolette DeVille Christensen, M.B.A., Ph.D., Vice President of The College of Global Studies at Arcadia University

Life of the Mind

Overview

  • The Life of the Mind Series is a meta-concept that challenges students to purposefully engage in their host culture.

  • Each year, the Arcadia The College of Global Studies designates a common thread or theme that connects all of our programs around the world together.

  • Through special events, lectures, and activities that challenge students to look below the surface of the culture in which they are studying, students gain an understanding of themselves, their own country, and the wider international community that will enlighten and empower them.

  • By expanding their global awareness, students discover ways to take on their own challenges, and those of the world, in a brand new way.
