Hello Global Gettysburgians!
Just because you’re back on campus doesn’t mean the impact of your global study experience has to end; there are many ways to engage with, and reflect upon, your global study experience, and share it with the broader campus community! One of these ways is to join the Global Leaders of Gettysburg College (GLGC)! CGE invites you to sign-up to participate by filling out this GLGC Sign-Up Form.
The GLGC is designed to help returned global study students connect their global study experiences to their lives on- and off-campus. Participating in GLGC offers you a framework to continue developing the academic, professional, and personal skills that were fostered during your global study semester. Additionally, it continues to build our Gettysburg College community by offering opportunities for you to mentor and support future cohorts of global study students.
To recognize exceptional participation in the GLGC, eligible students will be awarded an honor cord to wear at Commencement signifying their completion of the GLGC program!
You will receive more information on how to track your progress as a Global Leader after you sign up. In summary, the role of a Global Leader of Gettysburg College primarily involves talking with individual students, groups of students, or completing supplementary activities such as collaborating with CGE on on-campus programming. There is some flexibility in the interactions and activities you participate in but the CGE believes you will get the most out of this program through sharing your experience, expressing eagerness to guide students along their own journey, and leading more Gettysburg College students down a path that allows them to become global citizens and come back with strengthened intercultural fluency.
The goal of this leadership-focused role is to help you gain experience talking one-on-one or to a larger group of students about your own personal experience. You may soon realize that how you speak to a friend about your global studies is different from how you speak to an organization you are a member of on campus. You may choose it is more beneficial to talk with students about internship or research projects you did abroad differently than you would talk to your faculty advisors or future employers. How will you share your global study experience with others?
