KEYNOTE SPEECH BY,
Deborah Ford
Chancellor
Indiana University Southeast
"Congratulations on planning the Inaugural International Conference on Sustainable Globalization: Connecting Academia, Administration, and Industry towards a Sustainable World. On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, we are proud to be hosting this conference with our higher education partners from around the world: Mahatma Gandhi University, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, and the University of Zagreb. Thank you to the leaders of the conference for bringing scholars from around the world together to discuss our shared commitment to global education and sustainability. As we begin this conference, think about what is on the horizon for our work as educators and leaders. The definition I prefer to use for horizon is the limit of a person’s mental perception."

"I am both honored and humbled for being invited to provide a keynote address at this international conference on sustainable globalization. Especially since it is in Kerala, the State where I was born, and the home of my ancestors. Sustainability is the issue of our time, and one that I care about deeply. The theme of this conference is very timely, since at the current time narrow political expediency, and primeval religious beliefs have nations subscribing to isolationist policies. However, the undeniable fact is that we all share one global environment. Some so-called leaders even doubt the science of global warming. However, science is not a belief, science is based on theory and assessments that are evaluated and peer reviewed. If you have gone to a doctor, driven a car, or flown in a plane, you believe in the process of science, and we all share one global environment; our air, rivers, and oceans have no boundaries. We have an obligation to our children and grandchildren that we leave the world a better place."
