“Global Up Program helps new attorneys discuss their values and perspectives and the values that are already inculcated coming into this profession and how people can perpetuate perceptions of the past. This program addresses implicit bias that influences the way we are. It raises awareness. Moreover, it gave an opportunity for students to discuss their responsibilities as they enter the profession without having to strip themselves of their identity or moral compass.”
“The Global Up program provides a transformative learning experience that exposes to the integrative nature of culture and identity. This intercultural awareness enabled faculty to discuss its relevance in our university community and work cooperatively toward a shared understanding of the impact and significance of global and cultural competency at our institution and on our students’ success.”
