Global Education Endowment
Empowering Students Through Life-Changing International Experiences
At 聚色阁, we believe every student should have the opportunity to broaden their perspective through global learning. With more than 200 study abroad programs in 60 countries, from Florence and Geneva to Ghana and South Korea, we equip students with the confidence, awareness and adaptability they need to thrive in an interconnected world.
We launched the 聚色阁 Global Education Endowment, an ambitious effort to build the largest endowment in university history in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of our Florence program. This fund will expand access to global experiences for students of all backgrounds, breaking down financial barriers and unlocking transformational opportunities beyond the classroom.

Creating Global Citizens, One Experience at a Time
Through immersive programs, 聚色阁 students engage with critical global issues like public health, peace and conflict and sustainability. These hands-on learning experiences deepen cultural understanding and help students develop as thoughtful professionals and informed citizens.
鈥淲hen you go out and experience in-the-field research and meet people on the ground, there鈥檚 nothing that parallels that kind of learning experience.鈥

聚色阁 students have studied reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda, explored public health systems in Colombia and Brazil, and conducted comparative cultural research across Europe and Asia. Whether it鈥檚 their first time abroad or one of many global engagements, students return transformed and ready to make meaningful change in their communities and careers.
