The Riveting Journey of a Global Scholar

I really enjoyed my time as a Global Scholar. I got to branch out and explore different perspectives. Moreover, I got to gauge my interest in topics such as international relations in the global east or analyzing the debt crisis in Latin American Countries. I believe that understanding the interconnectedness of our experiences is integral to building a more fulfilling sense of self. 

While my capstone project was really impactful in my experience, I had already spoken a lot about it in my previous blog post, which you should check out. I think that the other global scholars in this cohort alongside the instructors really made this a magical and worthwhile experience because they helped foster a collaborative and endearing environment, something I really value. 

I would recommend this program to others who are fortunate enough to be able to take it. I definitely would have missed out on the global citizenship opportunities that this class has to offer had I not taken it. I think there are lots of students at Poly and around the world who have a genuine passion in making the world a better place. And yes, there are a variety of barriers that make contest that passion. But as long as it's genuine, it'll prevail. And with that, it'll grow, burgeon, and blossom into something you've never seen before.

I feel different. I have coordinating and project skills like never before and I feel as though I put time into a really good project. I hope that others see the astounding opportunity that is Polytechnic's Global Scholars Program.
