Shorter students have taken part in several other international education events this week including a multi-cultural dining experience that featured fare from six continents and a Tai Chi demonstration and workshop.

Earlier in the week, students learned the importance of studying globally as Dr. Carolyn Bishop, president of the Consortium for Global Education (CGE), was the featured guest speaker during an afternoon presentation.

Organized in 1987 as a consortium to assist in the development of international education, CGE has more than 40 private U.S. universities and colleges – Shorter included -- all on the cutting edge of higher education. The CGE has helped place these member institutions in a global network for the 21st century.

Shorter College’s Office of International Programs offers many opportunities throughout the year for students to travel and study abroad.
