Review

"Certainly, faculty and administrators involved in study abroad or in globalization of the curriculum will find this book invaluable. However, the themes addressed throughout are so fundamental to the heart of mission and identity that the volume will likely be useful to any educator thinking about his or her institution's engagement with the global community."--Teaching Theology & Religion "This is an excellent book for those of us involved in international education. The wealth of information and myriad references to programs in diverse fields reflect the dynamic reality of current efforts across a broad range of institutions--a contribution that may ultimately be more useful than a consensus definition of global citizenship."--Review of Higher Education
