Are you a global citizen?
One of the main character traits that employers are looking for in job applicants are intercultural skills and an understanding of societies and cultures outside of the U.S. The Global Citizen Pathway (GCP) at SPC is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a competent global citizen who is ready to live and work in a diverse world. The GCP entails curricular, co-curricular, and capstone components that students complete alongside their degree program. In May 2016 the first two Global Citizen will graduate from SPC: Mary Walsh and Marsha Nelson!
Mary Walsh is graduating from SPC with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. On April 14, Mary presented her paper to SPC faculty, staff and the Tri Beta National Biological Honors Society, in which she is an active member. In 2015, Mary participated SPC’s Bonaire Study Abroad program, an experience that sparked her interest in her capstone paper on global pollution issues.
Marsha Nelson is graduating with an Associate’s degree in Health Information Technology. On April 20, she presented her Global Citizen Capstone paper on childhood immunization to the members of the SPC Rotaract Club. Marsha recently participated in SPC’s Study Abroad program to Italy, and took part in the program to Costa Rica for Spanish language in 2015. The latter significantly shaped her opinion on childhood immunization, the topic of her capstone paper.
