SLU GLOBAL STUDIES MAJOR IS FOCUS OF JOURNAL ARTICLE

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University's Global Studies major is the 
cover story in the Winter 2000 issue of Diversity Digest, a publication 
of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
	The article on the program was written by Director of International 
and Intercultural Studies Eve W. Stoddard and Associate Professor of 
Philosophy Grant H. Cornwell, and is headlined "Pathbreaking Global Studies 
Major Offers New Framework for Diversity Learning."
	"The goal of the Global Studies Program is to teach students to 
analyze comparatively the impact of global processes on specific phenomena 
connected with, across and between geographical areas," the article states. 
Included in the piece are descriptions of the program's core courses; a list 
of required texts; a look at a collaborative living/learning project in 
intercultural studies; and a piece about connecting study-abroad experiences 
with diversity learning on campus.
	The Association of American Colleges and Universities is the leading 
national association devoted to advancing and strengthening liberal learning 
for all students, regardless of academic specialization or intended career. 
One of its five key priorities is establishing diversity as an educational 
and civic priority.
