Launched in 2010, the World Perspectives Program encourages the cross-cultural connections, interdisciplinary knowledge and modes of thinking essential for success in our interconnected world. Since our students will be the leaders of the future, they need to understand global issues and demonstrate a commitment to making the future more sustainable. As Richard Levin, President of Yale University, has pointed out, our students need a depth of cross-cultural awareness that previous generations of Americans have lacked. To an unprecedented extent, the careers of this rising generation will be global in scope whether in business, law, health care or education.
