P-GLOBAL Leadership

P-Global – Act on your passion

Chris Chesney in South Africa

For some students, international travel sparks a desire for something more. More than just an interest in travel, more than an interest in a particular country. In some, it ignites a passion. The P-Global experience gives students a chance to act on that passion while developing leadership skills.

P-Global offers Alma students a scholarship to travel anywhere in the world and complete a project of their own design, thanks to a generous gift of over $2 million from alumni Lee and Sally Posey. Projects include:

Brittany Law works on a farm
  • Non-profit internships
  • Independent research projects
  • Seminars
  • Conferences
  • Work related to global issues

Alma students have completed projects in topics ranging from teaching to public policy, in places from the Philippines to South Africa.

P-Global also helps support Alma’s award-winning Model UN team.

 

Students learn important leadership principles from internationally recognized speakers like Madeleine Albright and Vicente Fox and by participating in international study opportunities through inventive programs like the Center for Responsible Leadership and the Posey Global Leadership Fellows Program.
