Every Tuesday at FIU a Tuesday Times Roundtable is held. In my first semester as a Global Learning student, this is how I engaged in the program. Each week a new topic in the New York Times article was discussed, and each week was a different speaker. I found that many of the topics discussed in some way correlated with topics in my courses. For instance, a new app proposal was once discussed. Creating a way to lower food waste, 2 women proposed an app that would partner with resturaunts to sell food at a discount during the last hour of business hours to help sell the food left so that they would not be thrown away. This discussion allowed me to learn about their business proposal and to learn about how targeted demographics is used with these proposals. Other weeks, I learned about resources availaible for students in other fields. Overall, each week I was able to learn something new and was anle to apply them in real world situations.
