#9 - Save the World on Your Way to College

Save the World on Your Way to College by David Gibson and Susan Hull Grasso

The concept of global education via the Internet to save the world is a worthy topic for discussion as such global issues an environmental degradation, civil uprisings, and human injustice will need to be addressed by the global community in an innovative way that is outside of conventional thinking and schooling. The Global Challenge program encourages an international collaboration of individuals that can provide global communication skills, various areas of expertise, and team dynamics which result in a deeper, more elaborate understanding of issues.

Programs that aim to marry business, science, and education in the goal of solving global issues that continue to increase in complexity is an exciting prospect that I feel will empower those that find their way to participate.
