This year, Southwestern College hosted a group of Belarusian scholars and representatives for a two-day Belarusian Symposium, led by the Center for Belarusian Studies.
Leadership hosted an evening with Ken Yalowitz, Director of the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College and Retired US Ambassador. The event took place Thursday, Oct. 6th. He spoke about international topics such as internships, travel, customs, cultural sensitivity, and young adult perspectives on civic responsibility and what it takes to volunteer. During the event, there was an array of flavorful international desserts.
It was a fun and relaxing way to interact with the speaker, listen to his thoughts, and ask him questions on global volunteerism. It opened up eyes to what it takes to have such a high ranking responsibility when representing your country within other countries.
