Developed by Fairleigh Dickinson University, the Global Issues Gateway, GIG (http://www.gig.org) is an educational website that serves as a gateway between the university community and the world and acts as a major resource in preparing world citizens. Its objective is to increase Global awareness and illuminate the various impacts of globalization. The site allows for participation by a large group of interested faculty members, visiting global scholars, and various student groups. GIG is a democratic and exciting website used both by the FDU community and external visitors to the site. Please note that the site has quite recently been revamped and is in a beta phase of its launch.

Explore the Global Issues Gateway and immerse yourself in the issues that are shaping today's world--and the world citizens of tomorrow.

Some of the features on the new website include:

• Exploring Globalization: A peer-reviewed academic online journal with essays, book reviews, pedagogy, and interactive forums.
• Global Events: An ongoing archive of FDU's global events, with interactive streaming multimedia.
• Global Virtual Classroom: A unique tools that allows to bring two classrooms in a virtual online space
