Dramatic changes in who we are and what holds us together in a richly diverse society strongly suggests that the nature of our citizenship may be very different in the future. Each year seems to bring more and more complexity in who we are, how we relate, what has been our several and particular histories, and what will be our future together. Students in higher education today need to be thinking about their personal and professional roles not just after they graduate, but twenty and thirty years from now. Success at almost any level, as individuals or as a society, will depend upon our willingness as citizens to establish effective levels of inclusiveness. Our personal leadership skills and readiness to make ethical choices will be vigorously challenged by the events and people we encounter within an extraordinary complex community with ties that reach across the world. Values, histories, symbols, and life patterns and other dimensions from many cultures will be present in our own.

These forums will examine the citizenship dynamics and expanding responsibilities within the global society of the future. More specifically, the forums will bring focused attention to the principles of inclusiveness, equality and our active role as citizens within the global society.

Forums will begin at 11:30 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m. in the Chancellor's Dining Room (3rd floor of Sadler).
