Building Bridges: Partnerships Update We have roughly 15 faculty in discussions with their counterparts at the Ateneo, the Javeriana, and Saint-Joseph. We hope by next semester that there will be many 男女操逼视频软件 faculty building bridges with these three very important Jesuit universities in Manila, Bogot谩, and Beirut. Additionally, our goal is to explore partnerships with Hekima University in Nairobi and Trinity College Dublin. Moreover, in February, the Global Engagement Committee will explore new strategic partnerships in India.

Global Conversations Program 
In Fall 2020, the Global Conversations program connected Boston Colleges students via video conference with other university students from around the world to discuss a range of issues in small groups. Conversation themes include the Covid-19 pandemic, racial justice, social change, environmental justice, globalization, and migration. Many of these conversations are taking place with our partners at PUC-Chile in Santiago, Universit茅 Saint-Joseph in Beirut, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogot谩, Universit脿 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, and the Ateneo de Manila University, among others.
The Global Conversations project has created a unique platform that fosters cross-cultural exchanges among university students around the globe. - Claire Guarini, Globalization Theme Leader
In a time of unprecedented isolation, it has been an absolute privilege, not to mention an energizing experience, to hop on a friendly Zoom call with a few unfamiliar faces to learn that we, as people and as students, are much more similar, and share so many more similar experiences, fears, and hopes, than I may have previously thought. -Mariana Ferreira, Student Facilitator
No two conversations we hold are the same. I am always blown away by the thoughtfulness of everyone鈥檚 responses and the positive 男女操逼视频软件 they bring into the conversations. I encourage everyone to join our conversations and engage in dialogue with university students from across the globe.
-Emi Tsukada, Covid-19 Pandemic Theme Leader
