The Changing face of Global Studies

Like Vincent who moved beyond his original base to make a concrete difference in the world, St. John’s sends students out beyond its borders to learn how to live, serve and become socially responsible leaders who are solution-oriented and focused on eradicating the causes of poverty and social injustice.

“Vincent’s commitment to look beyond his borders to stimulate growth and positive change inspires St. John’s goal of preparing future leaders by exposing them to the challenges and opportunities of other geographic and cultural regions. In this way, they are better able to understand the world around them. Through this kind of experiential learning, students also begin to understand how to identify pragmatic solutions for critical issues in the arenas of poverty and social injustice.”
