A Forum on Global Identity Topics
November 13-16, 2023
For the Fifth year in a row, College of the Canyons will host an International Forum on Youth on November 13-16, 2023,
highlighting the challenges and aspirations faced by today's young people through
lectures, scholarly presentations, and other events.
Hosted by COC's International Services & Programs, the forum was designed to help foster strong scholarship among faculty,
form connections with international scholars, encourage dialogue on challenging topics
that are timely and international by nature,
and generate interest among faculty, students, and staff for projects and comprehensive
internationalization.
The 2023 International Forum on Youth will feature COC administrators, professors
as well as students from abroad,
who will provide insights into today's youth and seek to inspire them to act.
