What if our students learn the most when they’re far from campus?Integrating Worlds demonstrates how high-quality off-campus study epitomizes integrative learning, both supporting and enhancing the entire undergraduate experience.While off-campus study (both study abroad or study away) occupies a marginal position on most campuses, it has the almost unique capacity to bring together a high concentration of high-impact educational practices. When we combine global learning with collaborative work, shared intellectual pursuits, learning communities, and more, these practices reinforce each other, exerting a multiplier effect that can potentially result in the most intense learning experience...

Et politisk jordskælv har ramt den historisk gode relation mellem Danmark og Amerikas Forenede Stater. Dramaet bliver talt ned i offentligheden, imens bekymringen vokser bag lukkede døre i Udenrigsministeriet, Forsvarsministeriet og Statsministeriet. I august 2019 ramte et større efterskælv, der gav genlyd verden over. Præsident Trump kaldte en udtalelse fra den danske statsminister for "uforskammet", fordi hun betegnede hans plan om at købe Grønland som "absurd". I samme forbindelse aflyste han sit officielle besøg i Danmark. Det vil sikkert overraske mange, at tendensen begyndte allerede under præsident Obama.
