Sir Patrick Stewart at Going Global 2012

As usual, Going Global 2012 was plenty of networking opportunities, debates and interesting insights on the higher education industry.

One of the highlights of the event was the closing speech delivered by Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his performances as Captain Picard and Professor Xavier. But the X-Men and Star Trek star has personal interests beyond acting: he is the Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield (UK). Also, he is Professor of Performing Arts at the University and regularly delivers sessions for drama students.

During the final session of Going Global, the renowned actor offered truly inspiring words, praising the internationalization of higher education as a genuine path to peace and global prosperity.
