His introduction to the cross-cultural experience came with an alternative service tour in Austria with Pax, a program of <a href=\"http:\/\/mcc.org\/\">Mennonite Central Committee<\/a> created in response to the reinstatement of the military draft in the United States after the start of the Korean War.

She has also led two groups to Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Audience members included faculty and staff alumni who had experienced cross-culturals themselves as students, faculty and staff trip leaders, prospective leaders, and one faculty member, speaking for many others, who said he was \u201cjealous \u2026 When do we get to go?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Challenging changes: technology and globalization<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first broad theme to be discussed was notable changes over the years. Technology came up several times. Instead of leaving behind their family friends, students have access to phones and computers, which leaders say can be a distraction and even a destabilizing presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s difficult for the experience to be an immersive one,\u201d said Brenneman.<\/p>\n<p>This accessibility also impacts parental demands and expectations: \u201cSome parents think that because their child can contact them every day, that they should be talking or Skyping every day, and when they don\u2019t, that becomes a challenge for the student,\u201d one panelist said.<\/p>\n<p>Peachey also mentioned creeping globalization: for example, visiting an American-style mall in Guatemala \u201ccan make you think you\u2019re in Bethesda, Maryland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At WCSC, Washington D.C.\u2019s rapid gentrification has changed the demographics and diversity of the area. Schmidt, a longtime D.C. resident, points out that when she first started as director in 1999, the city had more than 70 percent African American residents; that number has fallen to just over 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out, though, that the cross-cultural experience is very much shaped by the choices of the leader. For example, one could visit Germany with students, as she did this summer, and completely ignore the current refugee crisis. Her students did not; they interacted with Syrian refugees. \u201cIt\u2019s all in how you teach it and what you expose your students to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Defining and measuring \u2018success\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Professor emeritus Ervie Glick posed a question about measurement of success to his fellow panelists. \u201cThere is no test afterwards,\u201d he pointed out, adding that the extensive journaling required of student-travelers often provides a window into unwitnessed and subtle changes to student worldviews.<\/p>\n<p>Burkholder said a \u201cgrowth in empathy\u201d was a quality she considered to be a favorable measurement. One group of students, when visiting a poor area of a South American city, showed increased awareness of how their presence might be perceived negatively by residents.<\/p>\n<p>Brenneman shared an anecdote of two students who became lost in Kolkutta \u2014\u201cone of the safest cities in Asia\u201d \u2014 and eventually, using broken Hindi, found their way back, exhilarated by their new-found confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Within a day of arriving at WCSC, Schmidt says students are sent on a scavenger hunt around the nation\u2019s capital, using any combination of public transportation to visit known and not-so-known places. The tradition builds confidence in a very tangible way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our culture, there\u2019s not enough opportunities for proving themselves and taking risks and having an adventure,\u201d said Peachey, theorizing about what makes the cross-cultural program such a transformational experience for undergraduate students. \u201cI think that\u2019s one of the big draws.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More on EMU\u2019s cross-cultural program<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emustories.com\/timeline-of-cross-cultural-milestones\/\">timeline<\/a> to see the program\u2019s history of travel and immersion around the world.<\/li>\n<li>Learn more about EMU&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/crosscultural\/\">cross-cultural requirement<\/a> and visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/crosscultural\/\">cross-cultural blog<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Read more about <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/06\/summer-17-cross-culturals-travel-navajo-nation-bolivia-spain-anabaptist-europe\/\">summer 2017 travels<\/a> to Europe, Bolivia, Navajo Nation and Spain.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/07\/european-cross-cultural-experience-examines-womens-reformation-history\/\">Radical Roots group<\/a> explored Anabaptist and Reformation history, with special attention to women\u2019s history and to sites in Austria.<\/li>\n<li>The first <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/12\/theater-focused-cross-cultural-returns-semester-central-europe\/\">theater-themed cross-cultural<\/a> in fall 2016, led by Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/jzp3263\">Justin Poole<\/a> and his wife Amanda, attended 35 plays, visited 38 theaters, and produced their own dramatic piece about the different stages of cultural integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Kim Brenneman calls the cross-cultural experience \u201cthe ultimate classroom.\u201d Most 草莓社区 alumni who have participated in the program agree.
