Globalization within the Curriculum - How do you give students exposure outside the United States within the

- Understanding the South Korean Military Service Requirement - Do you work with Korean male students? Did you know that every South
Korean male student is required to serve in the military for a period ranging from 2-3 years, most typically during college? Advisors, staff, and faculty can all play an important role in helping our Korean men strategically plan for their military service and for their return to campus. This presentation will give a brief overview of the Korean military service requirement, as well as elucidate difficulties commonly experienced upon leaving & returning to Carnegie Mellon. This presentation will offer recommendations to ensure that our Korean male students are prepared for their leave as well as strategies to help ease
the transition back to campus after being away for 2 years.
