Because globalization has led to a flatter world, honors programs must expand their curriculums<br />
beyond the study of western history, philosophy, science, and literature. This roundtable will<br />
give participants an opportunity to discuss the importance, challenges, and solutions of bringing<br />
cultural diversity and global awareness into honors.<br />

presentation, I will focus on comparing Chinese and American educational systems and the<br />
impact of these two different systems on both international students and American students.<br />
