Global Pathways Student (GPS)

The GPS program is designed to provide students with information about a variety of opportunities that will enhance their college experience and enable them to develop the skills, tools and knowledge to take charge of their college education and be an active and engaged member of the global community upon graduation.

As GPS scholars, students will be encouraged to:

 Develop/improve their ability to understand and respect others' points of view.

 Attend cultural activities - learn about food, music, literature from around the world.

 Attend GPS student panels to hear upper class students' stories about their personal experiences in exchange programs, internships and service learning sites.

 Articulate connections between the information they are learning in different classes with experiences in their lives.

 Increase their ability to ask questions that demonstrate awareness/concern for other peoples/communities/cultures.

The GPS program is embedded in Topic RAPs.

Students who join Topic RAPs will experience the opportunities described above through their RAP seminar.
