GSIF System
- Our system depicts the complex relationship of the GSIF and Lehigh partnership. It is complex as many stakeholders and partners are included in the system for every piece to be successful.
- Lehigh began by hiring Khanjan who leverages his connections with organizations (e.g., World Hope International) across the Lehigh Valley and the globe (e.g., Sierra Leone, Philippines) to develop the opportunities to travel and help others.
- These opportunities then provide phenomenal, hands-on learning experiences for students where they would never have the chance to do so before. This amplifies the already high respect and caliber of Lehigh University. This only increases as the GSIF ventures show success and prove their worth at the university.
- Through these organizations (e.g., World Hope), the Office of Creative Inquiry, and Lehigh, all stakeholder benefit and strengthen their sector of the world in a positive way.
Traditional Classroom System
- As a simple and direct model, this system is linear and does not provide the depth of knowledge or experience gained in hands-on experience. Further, it does not lead students to become better global citizens nor does it allow for creativity as syllabus and courses are structured to meet specific learning objectives that cannot be diverted from.
