Global Scholars

Preparing Thoughtful Christian Leaders for Life-long Global Learning and Engagement
 

The Global Scholars program prepares students to engage in the global context through spiritual, leadership, vocational, and cultural development within an academically rigorous and experientially rich cohort.

Student Spotlight

Abigail Dundore

With the Global Scholars Program, I knew that I would get the faith and academic integration, and that was a big thing for me, to see that the Christian faith actually mattered in the classroom. I had taken a gap year after high school doing ministry, and I wrestled with the question of why should I pursue higher education when I was already making a difference in ministry? I learned in my Global Scholars Classes that if I hadn’t come here and I didn’t know the things that I’ve learned, I would be less equipped to do ministry. That was personally formative, so I now feel more ready to engage with the world. Now I know that my education is purposeful, and a lot of that came from the honors program.
