P-Global—Act on Your Passion

Jon Haley '13

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.
