Hi Global Scholars and Global Leaders,
Welcome to a new term of global learning and cultural exchange!
I would like to invite all of you to share your thoughts about any global topics you find of interest. They can - but do not have to - be related to our official program for this term.
The two bigger university events we will be celebrating this term are
International Happiness Day on March 26th, 12 to 5 pm (together with FDU New Jersey) and
World Health Day on April 7th, 12 to 3 pm. I would like to encourage you to contribute actively to both events: presentations, performances, info posters and other displays are particularly welcome! We also need people to help organize multicultural food and to help with the clean-up and recycling!
Please find below also once more this term's official GSP list of events (which you have all received by email earlier this term).
Have a great term!
Gudrun
