Support Global Competence and Connection
At the heart of the Global Studies Program is a commitment to equipping students with global competence – the capacity to engage effectively and critically with globalization and its implications for individuals, communities, governments, businesses, and other organizations. Global majors don’t just study the world; they engage with it, investigating the complex intersections of social inequality, environmental change, global governance, and more to find solutions for the century ahead.
Your gift to the Global Studies Program directly enhances the interdisciplinary learning and experiential work that define our curriculum. We seek contributions to support critical student opportunities, including:
- Global Experience Grants: Helping students overcome financial barriers to study abroad, allowing them to build essential cross-cultural skills.
- Student Research & Fieldwork: Providing funding for project-based learning and independent research on pressing global issues.
- Professional Development: Facilitating internships within the program and beyond, including local NGOs, government agencies, and international organizations.
By supporting Global Studies, you are investing in the next generation of community members who understand that local challenges require global solutions.
