The MSC L.T. Jordan Institute
for International Awareness

On-Campus Programs

Presentations on Global Issues

The Jordan Institute organizes and produces lectures and panel discussions each year for the Texas A&M University community.  Each one focuses on an issue of international significance.  Past program topics have included international business, foreign policy, song and dance, religion, and international travel.  Examples of past programs include:

• "Perceptions on the Papacy",
• "Ethnic Conflict and You",
• "The Kosovo Crisis,"
• "Human Rights: What is Our Role?",
• "China: Past, Present, and Future", and
• "The Berlin Wall: Changes in Germany Since its Fall".

World Faiths and Religions

The Jordan Institute produces objective, balanced, and informed programming on world religions for the Texas A&M student body and community with a student-centered approach.  This programming includes "food for thought" sessions in campus dorms complete with fun, discussion, and dinner.

Culture, Art, and Dancing Lessons

For student enjoyment there are demonstrations of cultural dances, art, and customs including lessons in salsa and merengue dancing.  For example, Dr. James Yao, a professor here at Texas A&M, offered an origami presentation and lesson in the MSC flag room.
