Global Fellows Program
The Global Fellows Program is an academic and co-curricular opportunity to enhance academic study in any discipline by formally acknowledging a student's commitment to global learning, and providing a comprehensive way for that student to develop fully as a global citizen. Students apply to be Global Fellows during the spring of their First Year. During the following three years—through workshops, activities, study abroad, and an international focus in your regular coursework—you will deepen and broaden your understanding of global issues, develop heightened intercultural competency, and cultivate the skills and attitudes necessary to lead successful personal and professional lives in a global context.
Twenty first-year students were named to the Inaugural Class of Global Fellows at a reception held April 15. Through increased international coursework, language study, study abroad, this wonderful group of students is ready to invest in their global learning over the next three years at McDaniel College.
