Global College is a dynamic, interactive and vibrant learning community that is multifaceted in its approach to education. The learning community consists not only of Global College students, study abroad students, faculty and staff, but also the citizens of the communities throughout the world in which students are studying. The educational setting is not simply a building or a campus, but rather the world with its inherent social, environmental and political developments. The Global College community is simultaneously close-knit and geographically dispersed. One-on-one advising on a weekly basis combined with regular community meetings at each center, a Global College community listserv, program-wide Internet chats as well as podcasting by Global College students and faculty, help to sustain and enhance this global learning community. Each of the centers, with its integrated faculty and staff support systems, embodies a cohesive, personal learning community within the larger Global College structure. Student Peer Mentors and Student Representatives are appointed at each center to offer additional assistance to new students in learning the ropes and becoming accustomed to the local culture.
