Global Scholars Host “Brexit Breakfast”

On Tuesday, September 17, 2019, the Nash Community College Global Scholars (GS) program hosted a “Brexit Breakfast,” an interactive film screening experience facilitated by Katie Hoffer, English Instructor and Co-Director of Global Scholars. Students were guided through the historical background of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union and what that means for individuals in Nash County, USA.

The purpose of the event was to highlight through a combination of discussion and lecture how this exit from the European Union could affect everything from global security to Cadbury Creme Eggs. Attendees were encouraged to gain new perspectives from different areas around the world as well as to seek out and evaluate information sources before making equally big decisions of their own in the voting booth.

Requirements for earning the Global Scholars distinction at Nash Community College include: completing 15 credit hours with a minimum of a C in globally-intensive courses, participating in eight global activities and 30 hours of global experience through either travel abroad and/or a domestic intercultural experience/service-learning, and sharing a capstone presentation related to the global-learning experience and participation in the program.
