Why Does Global Competency Matter?
Global competence is the toolkit a productive, involved citizenry uses to meet the problems and opportunities of the world.
A new generation of students requires different skills from the generations that came before.
More than ever before, individual actions reach around the globe.
Global competence integrates knowledge of the world and the skill of application with the disposition to think and behave productively.
Success in career and life will depend on global competence, because career and life will play out on the global stage.

Barack Obama 44th President of the United States and longtime Chicago resident
