In this chapter, the authors highlight the importance of personal and social responsibility to global learning. The development of a global mindset that encompasses traditional business knowledge, along with personal and social responsibility, can be achieved in varying ways. The authors feature one such approach to developing a global mindset through a global course connection (GCC) between Albion College, located in Michigan, in the USA, and Deree - The American College of Greece located in Athens, Greece. They provide details about the collaboration and offer insights into what they describe as a liberal arts approach to business education. Colby et al. outlined three core liberal arts modes of thinking: analytical thinking; multiple framing; and reflective exploration of meaning. To support their GCC, the authors relied on three primary connection practices: synchronous class sessions, asynchronous class sessions through a virtual team project, and shared course materials. © 2022 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
