GLOBE Receives Spirit of Service Award

Global Loan Opportunities for Budding Entrepreneurs (GLOBE), a student-managed academic program at The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, received the St. John’s University’s Spirit of Service Award at the 21st Annual President’s Dinner held in November 2018.

The Spirit of Service Award was given in recognition of GLOBE’s embodiment of the University’s Catholic and Vincentian values in its work. The GLOBE program provides microloans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Students in the GLOBE program are educated about the world of microfinance while helping poor families out of poverty.

Linda M. Sama, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Global Initiatives and Executive Director of the Center for Global Business Stewardship at St. John’s University, accepted the award on GLOBE’s behalf.
