Drake University and the Principal Financial Group Center for Global Citizenship offers students a unique learning opportunity to earn a Global Ambassador certificate. The purpose of the program is to:
- Provide students with a combination of concentrated study, personal experience, and reflection that will inform their understanding of global issues and perspectives,
- Provide students with the intercultural skills that will allow them to make the most of future international opportunities in business, the professions, or public service.
Students in the Global Ambassador certificate program participate in a variety of classes, cocurricular experiences, a credit-bearing study abroad experience, and service-learning. Additionally, participants enjoy several special opportunities with visiting speakers and scholars. The program capstone is a group learning experience designed to put the concept of global citizenship into practice by educating the campus and/or community about a global issue or cultural perspective.
Advisers are reminded that this certificate program complements a student’s central program of academic study. Students in any major can apply. Advisers can find more information and the downloadable application at www.drake.edu/cgc/globalambassadorprogram/
