Global Voices Virtual Symposium:
Africa in our Century
The 2022 Global Voices Symposium was presented virtually March 1-2, 2022.
Since 2017, the UD Global Voices Symposium has served our community by presenting stimulating and thought-provoking programs on global awareness and global engagement. In 2022, the symposium proudly presented “Africa in Our Century," examining the growing importance of this continent for our present and our future. As with past programs, the 2022 symposium drew on the experiences and expertise of individuals from our UD campus and community leaders to discuss activities and initiatives which promote global education and engagement.
