Being Global

“I always want to immerse myself in the vibrant beauty of cultures and traditions, to respect diversity and stand united. With every little opportunity, I have learned to embrace my life, as we are the citizens of the world.”

--Amrita Datta
Visual Communication Design, Class of 2019

“I want to understand other cultures and why they do the things they do, which may help us understand why we do the things we do. And perhaps by thinking globally we can alleviate the suffering of others or even help to alleviate the suffering within ourselves. Humanity is connecting more than ever before and we owe it to our neighbors, our children, and our environment to think globally and work together.”

--Morgan Frantz
Senior, Global Communication major

“I believe we are called to be stewards of the earth as individuals and as a community. Being aware and concerned for the well-being of our fellow man and the environment around us is, to me, what it means to be global.”

--Ava Moss
Public Relations, Class of 2018

“Being global is a state of being, where we recognize our role in shaping the interconnected existence of all humans, not just our immediate tribe. Those who are global seek to not only understand, but to connect with and learn from cultures and communities in distant lands, and neighboring countries. Most importantly, those who have the resources to be global are incredibly privileged, and should always use their privilege to advance the lives of others in the world.”
