Shenandoah University | Education Abroad

SU’s 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—They 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.

The Global Citizenships Project is all costs included for participants!

A Global Perspective

Uyen Tran

Doctor of Physical Therapy, ’20

“Today, 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’t express how much I love my experience in Spain!"
