Summary of resolution of concerns raised by faculty about the Global Tech Program Sept 24, 2021 The Center for Global Engagement invited all interested faculty to meetings on Sept. 21 and Sept 24 to provide an update on the courses that were offered through this pilot program during summer 2021. These meetings provided a summary of the courses given by the leaders of Podium through which the courses were offered. The summary included some evaluation comments provided by students in the courses as well as more details of how the courses were offered. In conjunction with these meetings, the Center for Global Engagement noted that they would no longer be offering Podium classes at UTK. In the meetings, there were discussions that encouraged CGE to confer with academic units to consider novel mechanisms to foster international experiences, including those at distance with individuals from outside the US, that could benefit those UTK students who do not have the opportunity to participate in any study-abroad type program.
