Mandatory Course Explores the Responsibilities of Global Citizenship
Centennial College will officially launch its groundbreaking Signature
Learning Experience jointly with its humanracebook.com campaign. The innovative
philosophy opens Centennial students' minds to the current issues that
affect our world, helping them learn how they can get involved, make a
difference, exert their influence and impart change.
Employers large and small told Centennial they are looking for critical
thinkers who can effectively work together in today's multicultural and
multinational business environment. A new course, "Global Citizenship:
Social Analysis to Social Action" aims to stir the social conscience
of everyone attending Centennial College regardless of their field of
study and will be mandatory for all students beginning this September.

Will You Choose to Accept or Ignore?
------------------------------------
"We want to help students learn that true social networking isn't
about who's doing what with whom, but rather what they're doing to help
whomever they can," says Vicki Bismilla, Chief Learning Office and
Vice President, Academic, Centennial College. "And whether studying
to become an auto technician, pharmacy assistant, film maker or anything
in between, the Signature Learning Experience is designed to help students
and faculty be good global citizens."
Ms. Bismilla will be joined at the launch by Centennial College President
Ann Buller and students who have completed the program thus far. These
students will share how their personal Signature Learning Experience impacted
their lives.
Centennial will also unveil its new, thought provoking
"humanracebook.com" campaign that challenges students and the
public to think about important issues and "Accept" rather than
"Ignore" our responsibilities as global citizens. The campaign
was developed by Smith Roberts Creative Communications, the creative agency
that launched the United Church of Canada's Wondercafe and Colleges Ontario's
Obay Campaign.
