“Global Learning for Global Citizenship” at Florida International University
Florida International University (FIU), as its name suggests, was founded with a distinctly global outlook. The Miami-based university is known for its extensive area studies and diverse faculty and student population—FIU’s student body is composed of 81 percent ethnic and racial minority students, and the university confers more bachelor’s and master’s degrees to Hispanic students than any other institution in the United States. But until recently, “that diverse, global aspect wasn’t actually being put to use for student learning,” says Hilary Landorf, director of the FIU Office of Global Learning Initiatives.
