Illinois Global Scholar students had the opportunity on April 24 to share their Humanities Capstone projects. Throughout the year, they have been investigating various global issues such as mental illness in India to infrastructure problems in Nepal.
Humanities teachers Randy Smith and Seth Brady developed the idea for the Global Scholar Certificate in 2014. The Global Scholars program was established in 2017.
The certificate aims to encourage students to be globally aware. Students must take eight globally focused courses and must research a global issue At the end, they are expected to create an artifact to demonstrate their understanding and initiate change.
