\u201cBy the time my students walk into the classroom next fall, they won’t just be reading about other cultures, they\u2019ll be engaging with them through redesigned modules that emphasize collaborative problem-solving,” she said. “This fellowship ensures that the \u2018global\u2019 in \u2018Global Learning\u2019 isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a lived experience in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Longo said that today\u2019s students need to be \u201cglobally curious,\u201d meaning they need to get rid of preconceived notions of other cultures and recognizing that every culture is valid. She added that her goal is to \u201csharpen the focus on global business contexts so students graduate with tangible, marketable skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon learning she had been selected as a Global Learning Fellow, Longo was thrilled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to represent Penn State Scranton in this cohort. It\u2019s easy to get stuck in a box with your teaching methods after a few years, so receiving this news felt like the green light to keep growing, keep improving, and keep pushing the boundaries of what a corporate communications class can be,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
