Multiculturalism and Globalization

Global issues and responsibilities

As a result of their experience at SDSM&T, our students will:
· possess a better understanding of how the foundations of Western Civilization have impacted our culture and an openness to understanding the points of view of other cultures.
· better understand global issues and the increasingly interdependent nature of the world (environmentally, culturally, economically, politically, socially and the function of information technologies) for their professional and personal lives

Other information to be included on this page are links to:
· SDSM&T professors who are incorporating multicultural and global issues into the classroom
· Links to other universities with similar initiatives
· Bibliography of resources
· Interesting examples of multicultural differences
