The webinar will include a panel discussion of successful women leaders who will share their experiences driving change in their communities\, both locally and globally. Prepare to get inspired! \nThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals emphasize the full participation of women and girls in society as imperative to a more peaceful and prosperous world. The UN highlights the importance of developing effective partnerships\, including international partnerships\, to reach such goals. Specifically\, goal four (Quality Education) calls for eliminating gender disparities in education and ensuring equal access to all levels of education. Goal five (Gender Equality) calls for women’s full and effective participation in decision-making at all levels\, including equal access to leadership roles\, in political\, economic\, and public life. Goal eight (Decent Work and Economic Growth) focuses on the promotion of continued\, inclusive\, and sustainable\neconomic growth\, full and productive employment\, and decent work for all. Finally\, goal ten (Reduced Inequalities) focuses on reducing inequality\, which includes the elimination of discriminatory laws\, policies and practices\, and the promotion of appropriate legislation\, policies and practices that build effective\, accountable\, and inclusive institutions at all levels. The panelists we have brought together have worked tirelessly to achieve such goals throughout their lives and in the leadership roles they occupy. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nInfo about the virtual exchange project\nHassan II University of Casablanca and Kennesaw State University’s Women’s Leadership Virtual Exchange engages students from both universities in a unique cross-cultural virtual exchange experience focused on better understanding women’s leadership through research\, analysis\, and digital storytelling. This project provides participating students with a better understanding of the challenges and obstacles that exist for increasing women’s rights and leadership roles in society. Students not only gain a learning experience around the topic of women’s leadership\, but they also advance their abilities to work in international and intercultural contexts as they develop the intercultural competency needed in today’s global society. \nThe Stevens Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State\, with funding provided by the U.S. Government\, and is administered by the Aspen Institute. It is also supported by the Bezos Family Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Student Goal Centered Syllabus© — A new tool to Enhance Student Engagement and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Over 75% of students report higher levels of anxiety\, depression and stress due to the global corona-virus pandemic. \nThis is also affecting instructors as campuses open back up for an unprecedented blend of remote and in person learning. These\, and other factors\, are negatively impacting student engagement and learning. \nWe note that there is an unfortunate gap between what students are taught in college and what they are expected to know to be career ready post-graduation. \nThus\, how can we help our students through these challenging times? \nIn this webinar\, we share tips and tools on how instructors can become more compassionate and effective educators. As we begin to rethink how we connect with our students\, there is an opportunity to build greater rapport by understanding their career goals\, their need for the development of both hard and soft skills\, and by placing greater focus on relevant course content. \nWe present techniques on how each of us can make a positive and inspiring first-impression with our students by utilizing the innovative Student Goal Centered Syllabus©. \nThe Student Goal Centered Syllabus© has been designed to cultivate a more collaborative\, relationship-building environment. It links student career goals to the course Learning Outcomes. It utilizes a different tone\, uses first and second person language\, and utilizes a unique visual format appealing to a new generation of students. \nAt the end of this program\, participants will be able to: \nIdentify hard skills and soft skills that are not currently emphasized in many business syllabus and classes.\nDiscover student career goals and link them to the course Learning Outcomes and the skills desired by today’s employers.\nUtilize the Student Goal Centered Syllabus© to increase student interest\, engagement\, and learning.

DESCRIPTION:The Japan America Society of Georgia and Barnes & Thornburg invite you to an interactive presentation for Employment/Insurance Claims and Immigration. The election may have important consequences for Employers with a global workforce\, and this webinar will include discussions on the potential impact of the election and strategies in an interactive format. \nInsurance Coverage: The insurance industry has “circled the wagons” and is steadfastly opposing pandemic-related insurance claims.

SUMMARY:New MississippiS: Some Situated Stories on Contemporary Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Join for a Live Talk “Some Situated Stories on Contemporary Ecologies” featuring Dr. Maurita Poole\, (Director and Chief Curator of Clark Atlanta University Art Museum)\, Clémence Hallé (Researcher and Writer) and Duncan Evennou (Theater Maker and Performer). \nIn these times of planetary troubles\, they believe that works of art and archives can help tell historically situated and pluralized stories about contemporary ecological issues. Using the South of the Mississippi River as an emblem of the markers of environmental problems\, they consider the intersection between exploitation\, ecologies\, and people in two locales in the American South. This project New MississippiS is a digital and artistic reading of multiple museums’ archives and collections. \nIn this multi-sited project\, ecologies is examined in terms of its literal and symbolic meanings. The specific materials utilized include: recordings of an international cultural institution’s project along the River;  readings of Southern writers Margaret Walker and Richard Wright; and selected works from collections at historically black institutions in Georgia and Mississippi. \nThe first public event will consist of a presentation of the overall project\, its origins and its protocols\, as well as the launch of the online platform on which the materials will be read and contextualised by a performer and the organisers. Assembled in a series of podcasts\, these audios and its images will give a taste of the story behind the curatorial process of New Mississippis. \nThis event is organized by the Clark Atlanta University Art Museum\, Jackson State University’s Margaret Walker Center\, Augusta University and the Lighthouse Company with the support of the Atlanta Office of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States and FACE Contemporary Theater.
