About
Global Leaders is a year-long academic living-learning experience that may follow the Global Village. Designed to examine how gender shapes lives globally, particularly in relation to access to education, the program equips students to explore education as both a site of inequality and a tool for liberation. The program features a fully funded service-learning trip. Past trips have included destinations such as Mexico, Kuwait, South Africa, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and many others.
The program emphasizes experiential learning, culminating in a student-designed final project that connects research to real-world action.
Global Leaders is invite-only. Students who completed the Global Village are eligible to be invited.
"A fantastic experience that clarified my goals. I plan to continue learning about colonialism's effects through academic research or working at a non-profit, NGO, IGO, or governmental organization."
- Emily G., Global Leader
