Academic Collaboration Between SEMCOM and Georgia Southwestern State University, USA
Today's socio-economic environment is undergoing a tremendous change.
The significant feature of this change lies in its alarming rapidity.
Since the whole world is emerging as a global village, the change is
influencing mankind across the globe in various ways. This has
necessitated a change in lifestyle, business, education, and other ways
of life. Thus cultural diversities are increasing on one hand, while the
need for unity in diversity is being recognized on the other,
particularly in the light of the global village. This paradox calls for
appreciation of various cultures, not like a melting pot, but like a
tapestry. The only medium for such harmonization lies in multicultural
education, the ultimate aim of education being to foster humanity and
understanding. In order to create learning opportunities at the global
level, SEMCOM has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
Georgia Southwestern State University, USA. The collaboration is
synergistic in nature in such a way that students will have an
opportunity to remain in pace with the changing times in pursuit of their academic goals.
