We congratulate Mary Walsh (left) and Marsha Nelson (right), the first SPC students who have successfully completed all requirements for the\u00a0inaugural Global Citizen Program.\u00a0 They both\u00a0graduated on Saturday, May 7, 2016.<\/p>\n

Mary Walsh\u00a0graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. During her GCP she participated in SPC\u2019s Bonaire Study Abroad program where she was certified as a Coral Reef Restoration diver. During this Study Abroad experience Mary became very interested in pollution issues, which became the topic of her GCP capstone project. In addition to her dedication to becoming a Global Citizen graduate, Mary is an active member of Tri Beta National Biological Honors Society, is currently interning at a local wildlife sanctuary, and is also registered as a volunteer at the Humane Society of Pinellas. Mary\u2019s goal is to work with animals in a zoo.<\/p>\n

Marsha Nelson graduated with an Associate of Science\u00a0degree in Health Information Technology. During her GCP, she participated in two different SPC Study Abroad programs: Costa Rica Spanish in 2015 and Italy Humanities in 2016. While in Costa Rica, Marsha not only studied Spanish, but also visited local hospitals and health care facilities. This experience sparked her interest in\u00a0childhood immunization, which became the topic of her\u00a0GCP capstone project. Concurrently with her commitment to becoming a Global Citizen graduate, Marsha is an active member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society and Women on the Way.\u00a0 Additionally, Marsha interns at Suncoast Hospice. In the fall, Marsha will begin her studies in SPC\u2019s Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Services Administration program to prepare for her future career as a healthcare consultant.<\/p>\n

We congratulate both of these very talented and driven women!<\/p>\n

The Global Citizen Program (GCP) at SPC is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a competent global citizen who is ready\u00a0to live\u00a0and work in a diverse world. The GCP entails curricular, co-curricular, and capstone components that students complete alongside their degree program.<\/p>\n
