These experiences help foster strong friendships and lasting memories.

 

Our annual previous Program for Global Engagement trip in December 2024 to January 2025 brought 16 participants to Belize, where they explored four vibrant cities, two national parks, and significant archaeological sites, adding adventure and cultural immersion to their winter break. These experiences continue to empower our students to engage with the world in meaningful ways.
