What is Global Studies?
Global Studies is a dual-diploma program during junior and senior year. The work in Global Studies follows the themes that can be seen to the right. Through following the themes, Global Studies strives to create “active, engaged global citizens” who recognize the effect their actions have on the world around them. To help engage in the community a main focus of the program is attending events that can connect to one or more of the themes. After attending an event students write a reflection about what they thought then we debrief in class.

Global Studies Events
The Global Studies events can be anything from watching a documentary and reflecting upon it or attending something like a Ted Talk. The most important part of the events is reflecting upon the experience and learning something either about the subject of the event or about how you learn.
