GLOBAL CAMPUSES 2021~2022
ACADEMIC YEAR THEME
MAKING HISTORY
History is the study of past events. Some historical
events have changed the world for the better and some
have had negative impacts on people and the places
they live. History provides an opportunity for reflection
and ways to improve the world for future generations.
This academic year, we will travel in time and examine
the past up to present time and events that have shaped
our world and social trends. Each campus will find
unique and creative ways to explore this theme as the year unfolds through Teaching
Methods and topics chosen for classes taught by Global Campus participants.

A YEAR OF CELEBRATION!
What a year for Global Campuses! It’s the 20th year since its founding in May 2001
as a small, grassroots nonprofit. Global Campuses believed that adults across
the continuum of disabilities could create, manage and sustain their advanced
educational experiences as the teaching faculty, students, and staff of their Global
Campus. From the start, you, as campus participants have accepted the opportunity
and continue to reach far beyond the original imagining. There are so many stories to
tell about your achievements, and we all look forward to celebrating this important
anniversary in many ways. Commemorating important milestones along the way
is at the core of the Global Campus Experience. One such occasion took place in
September 2021, when the Global Campus community celebrated the 10-year
anniversary of the founding of Global Campus Shiremont! Congratulations to all
Campus Participants!
