Several dozen students met at the Student Council Office to take part in the GoGlobal activity to encourage Sagrado students to explore beyond their horizons and promote globalization.
In its second edition, the event organized by Sagrado Global, had only two components: an international diagnosis and presentations of special programs. The purpose of the first part of the event was to determine interests and reasons that the students had in taking part in an exchange program.
The second component, meanwhile, consisted in orienting about the four options of student relocation available to Sagrado students.
The idea is to motivate the students to search out exchange opportunities; to consider places to learn another language, and to have other options,”
-Eva Rivera, Sagrado Global Director.
The first talks were about an intensive English language learning program at the State University of New York in Oswego and about various exchange opportunities in the United States and Canada.
The afternoon talks were on the reason for choosing a destination city based on the appeal of learning a new language; work internships through Sagrado Jobs, and some scholarship opportunities available upon participating in the program, among them, the Fulbright Scholarship.
Bedushka Jiménez, a Public Relations and Social Work fourth year (Senior) student, explained that she had attended the activity because she had always been interested in global growth and was interested in taking part in an exchange in Germany.
Professor Eva (Rivera), as well as Cassandra and the other resources have been excellent; they have fully explained the programs offered and the different opportunities,” the student recapped.
