High-Impact Practices & Global Education: Leveling the Playing Field

What role can Diversity/Global Learning play in advancing academic, personal, and postgraduate success for our students? Research around the potential benefits of high impact practices—such as Diversity/Global Learning—especially for underrepresented minorities, low-income students, and first-generation college students, is both promising and inconclusive. As educators and administrators committed to equity in global education, how do we create educational conditions and practices that deepen learning and engagement to promote tangible success for our students? What additional factors might global educators incorporate into existing approaches to enhance Diversity/ Global Learning? How can research on this topic inform program design and other key components of Diversity/Global Learning experiences? What innovative models might we consider to facilitate student success?
