Students
JCC Represented At Conferences

Gregory Rabb, associate professor of political science, was a presenter at recent programs on international education and peace and conflict studies.

During a NAFSA conference for international educators at the University of Rochester, Rabb outlined the online global negotiations simulation which students from JCC’s Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses participate in with other community college students across the U.S.

The five-week interdisciplinary simulation provides students with the opportunity to explore and negotiate four topics of international concern. Rabb, who is JCC’s coordinator of global education, has guided various international simulations for several years.

Rabb outlined study abroad programming and resources during a capacity building seminar hosted by Cuyahoga Community College’s Global Issues Resource Center. The seminar was part of an effort to develop a community college consortium for peace and conflict studies programs.

A member of the JCC faculty since 1986, Rabb earned a juris doctorate at SUNY Buffalo, a master's degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a bachelor's degree at Canisius College. Rabb, who also serves as JCC’s global education coordinator, received the JCC Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1987.
