Working Group Reports  

Overview

As Duke Kunshan University emerged from the pandemic, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs initiated efforts to strengthen the university’s role as a leader in educational and pedagogical innovation. To support this initiative, the Institute for Global Higher Education convened a working group comprising faculty and staff to examine global liberal arts frameworks, university-wide learning objectives, and best practices in pedagogy.
