to cultivate global changemakers. Collaborating with Goucher stakeholders, the staff

in addition to supporting their study abroad experiences. We support our international
students and scholars and collaborate with faculty to design an innovative curriculum
with integrated global perspectives. We are proud of how these activities have contributed
to Goucher College's global community, and we encourage you to reach out to us to
