Mr. Payne’s address will focus on why international competencies are a critical part of educating students for life and work in a globally connected community.

 

Day two will include an opening plenary on the pedagogy of teaching International Business, including examples of internationalized business courses by Sachin Tuli, Director of International Programs at the Wisconsin School of Business.  Additional speakers both days will include area studies scholars who will share information and trends about economics and business in their regions of scholarship, representatives from business and industry who will discuss aspects of international trade and the key skills needed for entry into the arena of international business, and other content experts in the field.
