The Global Learning Program at WSU has been guided by input from a Faculty Advisory Council for Global Learning and an external Advisory Board for Global Learning. Now it will also receive advice, input and feedback from student representatives. Collaboration and consultation with key stakeholders is what makes the Global Learning program successful. Without their dedication and wisdom, it would be impossible.
The members of the newly formed Student Advisory Council are all outstanding scholars with an interest in global issues:
