The RU Global Scholar program helps prepare Rockford University students to succeed in an increasingly globalized world and seeks to recognize students' globally-focused work. Global Scholar applicants will work with a Global Affairs advisor to demonstrate that they have attained global skills and knowledge through academic coursework, globally-focused service learning, study abroad or global collaboration and the successful completion of a capstone project. For detailed information, please visit the Global Scholar Progress Tracker. Students who earn this award gain skills to succeed in a rapidly changing globalized world and will receive a global honor cord to wear at graduation.
