Mission Milestones & Highlights — Global and Florham Scholars


	Established in response to the University’s global mission, FDU’s Global Scholars and Florham Scholars programs provide a distinctive community of learning and living with a special emphasis on global themes and activities. Each has dedicated residence areas that provide an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas among students with common global interests. Global and Florham Scholars also take advantage of FDU’s U.N. Pathways Program and opportunities to study abroad at Wroxton College and other locations throughout the globe. The four-year Global Scholars program on FDU’s Metropolitan Campus takes an intensive multidisciplinary approach (e.g., political science, international business, communications and more) and is available to students in all majors. Global Scholars participate in a variety of cultural and artistic events and — as part of their academic requirements — spend two winter sessions and a full semester studying abroad. The Florham Scholars program in global studies at the College at Florham is for freshman residential students and combines academic study with experiential learning opportunities. Enrollment in reserved sections of freshman classes, including the Florham Seminar in International Relations and The Global Challenge online Core course, brings an international perspective to their education by asking students to connect their “local perspective” to a global point of view. next … Florham Scholar Caitlin Taylor \| Global Scholars Meagan Wilder and Jessica Klein FDU-Vancouver \| Wroxton College \| Academics \| Online Learning FDU and the United Nations \| Study Abroad
