This book is a testimony of Spelman College’s commitment to global citizenship, documenting cross-cultural and international experiences and reflections of domestic students who studied abroad, international students’ experiences, Alumnae who studied abroad or have lived abroad and faculty and staff who have lived abroad or led students abroad. This book distinctively reveals life stories of global engagements that no one else could tell but the contributors who bring life experiences through their international visits. Through a well-curated and engaging collection of narrative stories, this book captures the richness that comes from crossing boundaries, understanding cultural differences, and embracing the knowledge that comes from encounters with disparate perspectives.

Published : March 15, 2022
This book provides narrative cross-cultural stories written by undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty.  They cover a variety of experiential learning—from formal program awards to informal encounters, to travel to attend conferences, to volunteerism.   Cross-cultural experiences are recognized as engines leading to global awareness.  When students venture outside of their routines, their worlds become larger.  This then leads to greater tolerance, more awareness, or even more possibilities in life. Hard copies are  available on  Amazon.com Editors Krishna Bista, EdD , is Professor of Higher Education in the Department of Advanced Studies, Leadership and Policy at Morgan State University, USA.
