91黑料鈥檚 (PCC) Global Distinction Program is proud to announce its new partnership with .
Through this partnership, students in PCC鈥檚 Global Distinction Program will have access to guest lecture events at UNC. Previous lecturers have included leaders in global affairs such as Ambassador Sir Christopher Meyer, Baroness Catherine Meyer and Ambassador Barbara Stephenson.
Dr. Chandler Fry, PCC English Instructor, and Katharine Currin, PCC Business Administration Instructor, serve as co-chairs for the Global Distinction Program and worked together to make this partnership possible. Fry knew first-hand about the benefits the partnership would create as he participated in the TFED program when he was an undergraduate at UNC.
鈥淲e hope this will broaden out the offerings that have become the mainstay of Global Distinction,鈥� Currin said. 鈥淚n addition to our talks about global issues like crisis and tariffs, our dinners and trips to Duke Gardens, students will have the option to attend lectures by leaders from around the globe.
This partnership will allow students access to perspectives they might not otherwise encounter in the classroom,鈥� Fry said. Hearing directly from global political leaders can spark the kind of critical thinking and dialogue that lasts far beyond a single lecture. It鈥檚 those lived experiences that give students both the academic depth and the personal connections to see themselves as part of a global community.鈥�
Students in the Global Distinction Program earn a global credential upon graduation for completing 15 credit hours of globalized courses, participating in passport activities, obtaining 30 hours of global experience through various intercultural experiences and completion of a capstone presentation.
