  • AIEA Provost Perspectives: the Liberal Arts and Internationalization
    AIEA PROVOST PERSPECTIVES JUNE 2015 The Liberal Arts and Internationalization: Leveraging Student Mobility, Partnerships, and Faculty Hires Mette Hjort • Lingnan University Associate Vice President (Academic Quality Assurance & Internationalization) and Chair Professor of Visual Studies PROVOST PERSPECTIVES Name: Mette Hjort Title: Associate Vice President (Academic Quality Assurance & Internationalization); Chair Professor of Visual Studies Time served as Provost: Two years (as of June 2015) With historical roots extending back to the 1880s in Guangzhou on the Chinese Mainland, Lingnan University is one of eight government-funded universities in Hong Kong and the only liberal arts institution in the sector. Located in Tuen Mun, in the western New Territories, Lingnan University draws on both Chinese and Western traditions in its provision of liberal arts education. Lingnan is a fully residential, English medium-of-instruction university with a strong commitment to Service Learning and Internationalization. The University enrolls about 2,500 undergraduates and about 500 research and taught postgraduate students and is deeply committed to the provision of quality education to students from lower income backgrounds. Mette Hjort joined Lingnan in 2005 when the University, building on its acknowledged strengths in analytic aesthetics, secured government support for the creation of a new interdisciplinary Visual Studies program oriented toward capacity building in the visual arts. The larger context for the University’s initiative was the government’s ambitious plans for a West Kowloon cultural district, a project designed to make art and culture central to Hong Kong’s further development in the Post-Handover era. A Dane who grew up in Kenya and was educated in the UK, Holland, Switzerland, Canada, and France, Mette’s training encompasses comparative literature, philosophy, media studies, and art history.

  • Al Akhawayn School of Ifrane Student & Family Handbook/Program
    Al Akhawayn School of Ifrane Student & Family Handbook/Program Guides 2020-2021 ASI Mission Statement ASI prepares and graduates students who are equipped with critical thinking skills, holistic knowledge, and socio-emotional skills necessary to thrive in multicultural environments and access the best universities and post-secondary study in Morocco and the world. ASI Vision Statement By the end of 2022 ASI aspires to be a world class Early Years to Secondary education institution in Morocco driven by excellence in teaching, learning, and extracurricular experiences that empowers our students with the needed skills and intellect to be 21st century global citizens. Core Values Growth Mindset, Lifelong Learning, Recognition and Respect of Difference, Internationalism, Moroccan Identity, Self-Confidence, Environmentalism, Equity ASI Definition of Learning Learning is a process of refining knowledge, skills, dispositions, and attitudes through experiential and entrepreneurial interactions with content, real-life scenarios, and unscripted contexts; welcoming mistakes is integral to the process of learning and taking informed risks while considering a wide range of perspectives is essential to learning. The learning process supports the critical thinking skills through reflective practices necessary to go beyond understanding content and into the process of making meaningful connections between content and the broader values of a community. Learners develop inquiry-based engagement, empathy, creativity, executive function, and motivation. Such skills empower learners to incorporate new knowledge and perspectives into positive interactions with their environment and community. Learners apply critical thinking to modify opinions and understandings to ultimately better themselves. Discovery, self-expression, and autonomous inquiry are the vehicles through which these skills are fostered.
