It is unclear how your proposal relates to our mission: http://www.globaleducationconference.com/notes/The_GEC_Mission_Stat.... This event is focused on global topics, and your proposal needs further elaboration on international aspects if you wish to be considered.

Lucy,
I'll go ahead and edit it. The curriculum we were planning on talking about is our "world ready" curriculum. This curriculum was designed as a way to facilitate co-curricular learning about global competence to be successful in today's global market. This included study abroad courses, being a part of specific international organizations, and taking classes focused on a global competencies minor or international studies minor.
