Global Awareness (GA)

Experiences in which students immerse themselves in cultures

experience is to help students understand and appreciate cultures

are encouraged to engage in learning outside the classroom that

broadenstheirintellectualhorizonsanddeepenstheirunderstanding

ofthepolitical,social,cultural,environmental,spiritualandeconomic

also designed to promote personal growth and self-reliance as well
