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.

 

The Alma College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team claimed its ninth consecutive regional championship at the SIFE USA Regional Competition in March 2009. The competition awards the SIFE teams that are most effective in teaching the principals of market economics through outreach projects in their communities.
