Spring Abroad: Global learning for a pluralistic society

This project aims to equip Saint Mary’s University students with intercultural knowledge, skills and understanding through physical and virtual global opportunities in 16 countries. These experiential learning activities instill in participants genuine interest and curiosity to become life-long learners and contributors of pluralistic values in their local and global communities. Through preparation and active reflection, they transform their experiences and encounters into building blocks of change, agency and belief that people of all abilities and backgrounds participate in our society. Participants are hosted at partner institutions with whom we have shared goals and values in international education.
