Priority 1: Global Connections Club

Purpose: Studying abroad is a transformative experience that enriches student’s lives academically, personally, and culturally. Some students might experience nervousness or fear when going on a trip with a group of strangers. The Global Connections Club (GCC0 will help ease the anxiety of said students and will facilitate connections and foster relationships between students who have had and are going to experience studying abroad. The club's dedication would extend to collecting funds for those students who may not be able to afford the excursion.

Strategies:

  • Work with WTCC Communications to publicize club internally and externally
  • Partner with WTCC Foundation Office to obtain funding for scholarship

  • Grow student membership through outreach events
  • Coordinate with WTCC Student Activities on fundraising efforts
