Global Village Update 3

This third GVU session focused on our Head Craig Davis’ top interest and priority, namely Place-Based Education and the dynamic, on-going Curriculum Development at Pearson, but we also heard from staff, students, alumni and friends who are contributing not only to the intense PC Campus Life, but also the rich and diverse ‘Life after Pearson’ scene around the world.
