  • Dr. Peterson Savannah Council on World Affairs: US
    Dr. Peterson Savannah Council on World Affairs: U.S. Higher Education Goes Global Thursday, April 25, 2013, Coastal Georgia Center, Savannah, GA Title Slide Thank you for inviting me to talk with you this evening. Members of the Savannah Council on World Affairs are to be commended on your global focus. When you began about 30 years ago, you were definitely ahead of your time. I noticed from your Website that each year you provide a stipend to four undergraduate students so that they can have the opportunity to study abroad in the summer. This is tremendous, and potentially life changing for the students. Slide 2: Changing Expectations for Higher Education In October Time ran a cover story titled “Reinventing College,” as part of a special report on higher education. Their exclusive poll revealed that 80% of those surveyed think college is not worth the money. They highlighted $900 billion in college loan debt. There is an increased focus on return on investment. One of the stories referred to an iron triangle of what were termed the three big interrelated challenges facing America’s colleges and universities: access, cost, and quality. Slide 3: Changing Expectations: Employable and prepared to Adapt and Lead We are in a time of changing expectations for higher education. It is no longer acceptable for universities just to enroll good students and graduate them. Today, universities are expected to ensure that graduates are both employable and prepared to adapt and lead in an ever-changing world that many times requires an interdisciplinary approach to developing solutions to grand challenges.
