Skills Needed for Global World Topic of LHWHS Panel 11/29

Last year we took our family to China to expose them to Asia, the global world, and introduce them to friends working as ex-pats in Beijing and Hong Kong. It was an amazing opportunity for them to see places where they may work and live someday... Being flexible and ready to land anywhere is key in this new economy!

What skills our children will need to succeed in a global world is the topic of a panel discussion coming up on November 29 at 7 p.m. at Ladue Horton Watkins High School's Performing Arts Center.  Join a panel of Washington University students, faculty members and alumni to learn about skills and strategies for success in a global environment, and how your studies can help you prepare for leadership positions in international business and other organizations with a strong global presence.
