I found out about this workshop from my friend Fang Fang. She asked me to go with her so I did since I’m a really nice guy. There were cookies and refreshments and not having eaten lunch, I feasted myself with little treats. After my feast, I noticed that Professor Vaughn from Stony Brook was getting ready to speak. I changed my manner from sloppy to business and listened carefully to what he was saying. The theme was globalization and internationalization. He spoke for about 30 minutes and although I did not fully comprehend everything he had said, I got the gist of his argument.
After Professor Vaughn was finished, there was a panel of Baruch professors and students who spoke about their experience with diversity and globalization. I still remember a student saying how your friends in class may not be friends outside of class. That is so true. Enough though i speak to some people in class, I don’t talk to them outside of class. This really hit me and made me want to change. My global awareness is growing.
