About the theme:Leadership in a Global Society
Leadership in a Global Society is a call to action for students, faculty and staff of Missouri State University. The issues we are facing today, and will be facing from this point forward, are global issues (poverty, hunger, health care, educating our children, environment, etc.) This theme requires us as members of the Missouri State community, and as part of a global society, to be action oriented in dealing with these problems. Leadership in a Global Society will allow exploration into ways we can “think globally and act locally” in order to address global issues.
The PAW committee will work within the three essential components of the Missouri State University Public Affairs Mission to meet the goals of Public Affairs Week. These three components are: Ethical Leadership, Cultural Competency and Community Engagement.
