There are many ways students can engage in global learning at Washington State University - in the classroom, through organized activities, traveling abroad and interacting with the diverse array of students, faculty, staff and community members they meet during their stay here. Below are three specific opportunities for students to become more globally informed and actively engaged in the world in which they live and work.
Global Case Competition 2012
The Global Case Competition engages students to problem-solve global issues using local resources by fostering an understanding of our seamlessly interconnected world.
