The start of the Fall Semester is just around the corner, Scots! We've been busy this summer at the Center for Global Engagement updating current and new study abroad programs, communicating with incoming international students, and crafting some fun and exciting campus events for you to experience! With this new semester, make it a goal to engage with as many groups as you can, take study breaks to enjoy what campus has to offer, and learn about the cultures around you inside and out of the classroom!
Where are our new international students from? 🗺️
just to cultural changes once they arrive, including meeting them at the airport (apply here!). Globally-themed housing in Gamble Hall is another great way to engage with international freshmen and Bonner students!
Globally-Focused Student Organizations 🌎
Join the Global Citizens Organization student group and have fun discussions on cultural topics, enjoy residence hall nights with international movies and karaoke around the world, and more! This organization's members are many of our current international students as well as several local students who want to bring international perspectives into the conversation. Study Abroad Ambassadors is another great way to engage with US students who have studied abroad or who are interested in travel! You do not need to have studied abroad prior to join! This student organization focuses on promoting study abroad and creating more cultural engagement on campus like a sponsored international movie showing, Global Ghost Stories, and opportunities to collaborate with other student groups on campus.
Globalize your Degree with a Global+ Certificate ✅
Another great opportunity to globalize your campus experience is to add our Global+ Cerfiticate to your degree! The Maryville College Global+ Program is designed to strengthen and improve undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign language at Maryville College by increasing global/intercultural competencies across the curriculum. Through Global+ courses [GL] with globalized frameworks in the curriculum, studying abroad or working with a local international organization, and having fun at cultural campus events, you can add this certificate to your diploma that shows employers and graduate schools you can Think Globally, Communicate Effectively, and Contribute Responsibly.
