The Global Studies Global Scholars (GSGS) program is a signature element of the Global Studies program. Each year, a new cohort is a selected to participate in a Loyola faculty-led program to a destination that offers an opportunity for students to travel and learn in a different destination. Programs are designed around the Global Studies learning aims and most costs are covered by a gift from Ellen and Ed Hanway ’74. Students are selected to participate through a competitive application pool and a new cohort is announced in the fall semester. Travel typically takes place in December-January during the break between semesters, but in 2027 only the GSGS program will take place over spring break. 

In 2027, the GSGS cohort will travel to Columbia with Dr. Jason Cherubini.
