Regular meetings with Global Scholars Leadership Team

Global Scholars meet at least once a semester with someone from the Global Scholars Leadership Team to track their progress. The Leadership Team representatives make sure scholars are fulfilling program requirements and offer direction for pursuing additional global learning opportunities. These one-on-one meetings also serve as opportunities for Global Scholars to discuss and reflect upon the international experiences they engage and express program concerns or suggestions.
