"I want my future career to involve global health, and the experiences I have had because of the certificate (like study abroad and mission trips) have vastly shaped my perspective and given me valuable hands-on experiences. They have provided me with excellent talking points when I engage in interviews as well. I feel very well-equipped to become a leader and activate change in the realm of global health."
Major: Medical Humanities
"I feel more adequately prepared to go into a global career field (in comparison to the relatively homogenous community at Baylor) and I know how to navigate awkward experiences better. I gained lots of knowledge, as well as lots of resources for where to gain more knowledge when I need it"

"This certificate forces you to attend events you would never have considered or known about otherwise. This is so refreshing. Sometimes, you must attend those events alone. That's great. These events teach you how to be an independent learner. I have enjoyed the reminder that learning for the sake of learning can be simply enjoyable."
Major: University Scholar (UNSC)
"Being a part of this program means that my college education is not just about the places and people I've always been familiar with. Instead, there is SO MUCH to learn from other people, places, languages, cultures... etc. Exploring new perspectives has been greatly enriching to me, both academically and personally!"
