The CGE's Engage Your World Speaker Series began in September of 2009 as a collaborative effort between the Claude Pepper Center and the Center for Global Engagement (CGE). It brings together students, faculty, and staff to engage in a conversation about the global challenges we all face today. The broad scope of Engage Your World provides space for everyone to participate in a respectful conversation, where differences in opinion are not only encouraged but also necessary for a deep and meaningful dialogue.
CGE will normally co-sponsor 3 EYW events in the fall semester, and 3-4 EYW events in the spring semester. We try our best to space the events a month apart, though we may have to keep other campus-wide events in mind. In most cases, events are held between Tuesday to Thursday, after 4:30 pm when the parking on campus is free. EYW events are usually not hosted on Fridays to avoid a conflict with the International Coffee Hour.
