Planning a trip abroad or research project for the first time can be an intimidating task, especially as an undergraduate student with little to no experience. At Florida State University, the Global Scholars Program provides students with guidance and support as they plan and pursue their own student-designed learning experiences.
To highlight these experiences and their outcomes, the Global Scholars Program hosted its annual Global Scholars Showcase Dec. 6 at the Honors, Scholars, and Fellows (HSF) House. The event featured projects ranging from the role of health care systems in Spain to exploring the solidarity of immigration in Morocco and war related tourism in Eastern Europe.
