The Global Scholars Program pushes our students to think beyond the geographic and cultural boundaries of the familiar in order to develop leadership skills necessary to become effective and responsible global citizens. The co-curricular aspects of the program allow students to explore and reflect upon different perspectives and globally-focused experiences outside the classroom.
