Complete the mandatory reflection after you have completed your study abroad experience. You can either click here for guidelines OR enroll in Uni Studies 197D via WebReg.
Goal: To go beyond interculutural engagement at the local level and step out of your comfort zone even more! Continue to gain insight into a culture, group, and/or individual that has a perspective different than your own.
Quick tip: The longer you study abroad the more opportunity for personal growth and meaningful interaction with the local culture. Check out this reflection from a GLCP student who studied in Australia
SEMINAR

Wednesdays 1:00-1:50pm
in Humanities Hall (HH) 214
Email glcp@uci.edu to request an authorization code to enroll
Goal: To expand your vision of what leadership means in a global context, define the global issues that are of concern to you, and help you prepare your capstone project.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
What: Show what you've learned throughout your participation in the program and put it to use by completing a capstone project of your choice! There are three general options: Teaching, Research and Practical Application. This is the culmination of the program. Click HERE for Instructions.
Goal: To put into practice what you have learned throughout your participation in the GLCP and use your leadership skills in a meaningful way so that some population benefits from your project and in return you learn something from carrying out the project. In addition, it is expected that you will present your capstone project at the Annual GLCP Celebration & Awards Reception.
Quick tip: The capstone project typically takes about 3 quarters to complete, so please plan accordingly.
SEQUENCE OF PARTICIPATION
- Requirements 2, 3, and 4 require critical reflection. The reflections are a vital aspect of the program. They provide you with an opportunity to stop and examine your experiences and why they matter. Through critical reflection you will learn how to articulate what it is that you have learned and how to share those ideas with others.
- These reflections are intended for your benefit. You may do the minimum required or reach beyond. Keep in mind that the more you put into this step, the more you will gain from your participation in this program, and the more it will influence your life in the future.
- Reflections must be completed within 2 weeks of completing the first part of each requirement. Note: Reflections do not have to be in written paper form. You can submit posters, prezis, powerpoints, videos, etc. Feel free to be creative! Click here for an example of a creative reflection.
Reflections MUST be submitted within two weeks of completing any given requirement.
