Global Travel Broadens Your Horizons
SU鈥檚 Global Citizenship Project provides global experiences that encourage students, faculty and staff to gain a greater awareness of themselves and an appreciation for the cultural differences that make our world a better place.
Each spring break, Shenandoah sends 60 selected students, faculty, and staff to international destinations to help broaden their horizons. Applicants sign on without knowing where they will travel鈥擳hey could be spending spring break anywhere in the world!
GCP removes the boundaries associated with first-time travel, in order to whet the appetites of participants for longer-term learning abroad.

鈥淢y GCP experience in Puerto Rico was absolutely amazing!! Not only did I get to experience a whole new culture, but I also got to make new friends and got out of my comfort zone. My favorite thing about Puerto Rico was trying new food and learning more about Puerto Rican history. I also was amazed by visiting the Universidad del Sagrado Coraz贸n. They have an amazing nursing school and a lot of high-tech simulation tools. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"

鈥淭oday, my GCP group and I visited a university class in Spain that was learning the English language. It was so easy to connect with these students no matter our backgrounds, ages, and beliefs. I had such a great time learning about these students and connecting to them on a level that I have never thought I could with someone in a different country. I felt like I was able to open myself up to these students and express myself in so many different was through my conversations with them. To be able to do that in a foreign country is a privilege to me and I can鈥檛 express how much I love my experience in Spain!"

鈥淢y experience is absolutely incredible. I have made really incredible friends, like friends that I鈥檓 closer to than people I鈥檝e known since elementary school. I鈥檓 so thankful I came alone from SU it really forced me to branch out and stretch my comfort zone a bit. I鈥檓 actually going to Paris this weekend with a group of 13 Americans for my birthday!"

鈥淚 traveled to Bhutan on the GCP trip! It was really eye-opening to see such an economically underdeveloped country be so prosperous in its inter-citizen community, and be more advanced than Western culture in teaching that you don't have to be monetarily wealthy to live a happy life."
