Video: Webster Delegation at International Conference
(L-R): Roy Tamashiro, Manuel Muro, Quinn Shao, Annette Hormann, Bruce Umbaugh, Carla Colletti and Scott Jensen are among those in Hawaii.
The 10th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Education kicked off Thursday in Honolulu with a delegation of 10 Webster professors among the attendees and presenters. This conference includes an audience of 1,500 participants from universities, schools and colleges worldwide representing North and South America, Asia, the Pacific, Australia and Europe.
Thomas Cornell and Paula Witkowski presented on "Promoting Engagement and Accountability in Teaching Undergraduate Reading Classes."
School of Education faculty members Thomas Cornell and Paula Witkowski kicked things off Thursday morning with their paper presentation, “Promoting Engagement and Accountability in Teaching Undergraduate Reading Classes.”
The conference presents a great opportunity for international dialogue and discussion, including the Global Citizenship Program, the new core curriculum designed by Webster University to ensure every undergraduate student graduates with the core competencies required for responsible global citizenship in the 21st century.
The 10 Webster professors represent all five Webster schools and colleges — the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Communications, the Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts, and the George Herbert Walker School of Business & Technology.

Glad to see so many faculty members representing Webster. I presented 2 papers on music at the 2012 Hawaiian University International Arts & Humanities Conference at the Ala Moana Hotel 8-10 January 2012. I would have loved to have met you all at the Education Conference. Perhaps next year!
