Engage Your World

Engaging Our World

Once again, the idea of global perspective is invading Louisville. This weekend, November 3-5. the University of Louisville will host the “Engaging Our World” Conference, which is aimed at raising awareness among college age students to contemporary problems confronting our global society. Conference coordinators hope that this conference will not only inform participants, but also empower them to engage the issues and contribute to the creation of possible solutions.

Throughout the course of the weekend, the conference will provide several forums to engage and enlighten conference attendees, in an attempt to provide them with a truly global perspective. For instance, this year’s keynote speaker, Mr. Paul Loeb, will speak on citizen responsibility and empowerment – his area of expertise. Loeb has spent over thirty year researching and writing about what makes people choose lives of social commitment, and what that entails. Other topics to be covered in breakout sessions and work shops will include: trade and economic justice, global health, women’s issues, immigration, and globalization.
