SUMMARY:Mexico Inbound Trade Mission to Texas & Georgia 2019
DESCRIPTION:The US is Mexico’s largest supplier of consumer oriented agricultural products\, accounting for 50% of total imports within that respective category. The business climate has improved in the Mexican market as consumers are spending more on food and beverage. As more women continue to enter the workforce and double income households becoming the norm\, in addition to growing concerns for food safety and nutrition\, there is going to be an increase in demand for consumer ready and convenience food items. According to USDA’s experts the Mexican market is experiencing an expansion and these are some of the products with the best sales potential: wine\, meat and meat products\, and dairy products. \nThe Mexican Inbound Trade Mission to Georgia and Texas offers the unique opportunity to meet pre-qualified Mexican retail and food service buyers in an inexpensive way for SUSTA region suppliers. SUSTA registered companies will have one-on-one meetings with buyers. Both established exporters and new to export companies can get a glimpse of the Mexican market in a more accessible way by signing up for this inbound trade mission.

SUMMARY:The Future of Syria

That concerned and involved Russia\, Turkey\, Iran\, radical Muslim factions\, Israel\, and America. Syria continues to be a killing field that has left millions dead\, displaced\, or refugees in neighboring countries.

He has worked on elections\, human rights\, and conflict resolution. \nBalian received his Juris Doctor degree from Golden Gate University in San Francisco. In May 2009\, the New England College awarded him the degree of Doctor of Laws\, honoris causa\, for his “lifetime commitment to the dignity\, respect\, and self-determination of all peoples” and for his “uncompromising effort to resolve international conflicts.” \nHe is fluent in English\, French\, and Armenian\, with a basic knowledge of Arabic. He was born and raised in Lebanon\, moving to the United States for university studies.

SUMMARY:Innovating International Education feat. Welsh Minister of Education
DESCRIPTION:Come join for a Breakfast Discussion featuring Kirsty Williams\, Welsh Minister for Education and Skills & Mark Becker\, President of Georgia State University. \nForget the iPad and Oregon Trail: education has changed. According to McKinsey\, by 2030\, a decade from now\, more than half of all jobs will be automated and machines will do these jobs more efficiently than people. The challenge is for education to adapt to this new reality. \nIt is necessary to rethink education. Leveraging innovation is key in preparing students for this new world. Students must not only acquire up-to-date technical and digital skills\, but also vital human skills. Leadership\, global awareness and emotional intelligence will be the keys to enabling students to thrive in a world which we can only try to predict. \nIn Wales\, where universities enjoy the highest rate of student satisfaction across all of the UK publicly-funded schools\, major reforms are reducing class sizes\, developing international partnerships\, and increasing digital competence and literacy standards. \nCome join for a breakfast with the woman leading these reforms in Wales\, Minister Kirsty Williams\, Welsh Minister for Education and Skills\, in conversation with the president of Georgia State University\, Mark Becker\, as they discuss innovation in education\, the role of education in international relations\, and how Williams built partnerships and coalitions as an opposition politician.

SUMMARY:Nose-to-Nose with Fidel Castro
DESCRIPTION:When Fidel Castro first publically met Ambassador Vicki Huddleston in 1991\, in an attempt to embarrass her\, he asked if she was someone’s wife. After introducing herself as the Department Director of Cuban Affairs\, he responded\, “Oh! I thought I was!” \nThis theatrical display laid the foundation for U.S.-Cuba diplomatic discourse: one of the tensest relationships in the world and a daunting challenge for the then-junior officer and first U.S. diplomat to officially negotiate with the Cuban regime. \nHuddleston recounts her experiences in openly hostile Cuba in her book Our Woman in Havana. Join us for a discussion and book signing with Ambassador Vicki Huddleston and hear what it was like to go nose to nose with Fidel Castro\, knowing that every action could yield immense consequences for Cuba and for the United States\, and hear her assessment of current U.S. policy toward Cuba.

SUMMARY:The Island of My Love -- 'Cuba Amor' Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Museums\, Archives & Rare Books\, in partnership with the KSU School of Art and Design\, the Division of Global Affairs\, and Western Kentucky University\, for the opening reception of The Island of My Love\, or Cuba Amor. \nThis exhibit aims to illustrate the stories\, images\, and transcultural synergy between the peoples of the United States and Cuba. The exhibit has three components that reflect the connections between place\, identity\, and artistic expression: \n\nWork by Cuban artists express “transculturation\,” a term coined by anthropologist Fernando Ortiz Fernándiz that reflects how identity crosses cultural lines.\nWorks by children enrolled in an afterschool enrichment program\, La Clase Mágica\, investigate how art serves as a catalyst for personal and social transformation.\nThe String Project\, created by photographers Chelsea and Mariano Cortez\, invites visitors to take photographs clutching the same white rope in different surroundings.\n\nLike a drop of water that flows into a river\, creative community collaborations between artists\, educators\, and students can help us imagine a better world. The exhibition will be on view at Kennesaw State University during the fall 2019 semester as part of our “Year of Cuba” program. We invite you to explore Cuba Amor\, and meet the people of Cuba face to face.

SUMMARY:Macht der Gefühle Exhibition and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Our politics are increasingly driven by emotions\, so it would seem. We are living in an age of permanent agitation. Facts are being called into question by perceived truths. Radicals of every description are attracting more and more attention with simple answers to complex questions. The political center often does not know how to deal with heated emotions. It is characterized by the political culture of the old Federal Republic\, where the need for sobriety prevailed. \nThis is where the exhibition entitled The Power of Emotions. Germany 19 | 19 comes in\, which has been created by UTE and Bettina Frevert for the “Remembrance\, Responsibility and Future” Foundation (EVZ) and the Federal Foundation for the Study of Communist Dictatorship in East Germany. The exhibition takes an emotional-historical perspective to look back at the last 100 years and illustrates the political and social impact of fear\, hope\, love\, and rage. \nThe Power of Emotions. Germany 19 | 19 takes present-day manifestations of 20 emotions as a starting point and shows how these have developed during the 20th century: conjunctures\, change\, and continuities. In the 2019 year of remembrance\, the exhibition will demonstrate continuities and gaps in the emotions that have shaped the last 100 years\, the intensity of which is now presenting a challenge for politics and society. \nDr. Frevert will join on Thursday\, September 19\, and give a presentation accompanying the poster exhibition. Light refreshments will be served. \nThe event is free to attend\, but please register in advance.
