Thank you to those who joined the first Global Perspective Seekers meeting back in August. We had a brief discussion about the format of our upcoming meetings and shared what we wanted to accomplish in our lives related to global issues. We also agreed as a group that it would be fun to discuss this New Yorker article, “The Case Against Travel.” Thanks for the suggestion, Jose! Reading the article is not required to attend, and we will encourage those who do read the article to introduce some of the themes into conversation.
This group is formed so there will be a place where we can share and exchange our experiences on interacting with other cultures and living globally. If you know others who are interested in this issue, please feel free to let them know about GPS too.
Our meeting is now set for October 11, 2023.
Details are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, October 11, 2023
Time: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Location: Teske Room in Bauccio Commons (next to Holy Cross Dining Room, you can enter through the side doors by the parking lot between Shiley Hall and the Commons, or enter through the Commons’ dining area) If you have any suggestion on location, time, and topics for future meetings, please feel free to email us at gps@up.edu
