“Nearly four decades after the release of the commission’s “Strength Through Wisdom” report, our world has never been more interconnected. Here in my home state of Indiana, about one-fourth of our $359.5 billion gross domestic product comes from international trade.

Our towns and cities are also becoming increasingly diverse and multicultural; more than 8% of Indiana residents speak a language other than English, and more than 275 languages are spoken within homes across the state.” (more)
