IMPACT
While on campus, Global UGRAD students develop a deep and nuanced understanding of the United States — its culture, values, and institutions — building the connections that strengthen U.S. relationships around the world. They collectively contribute more than 6,000 community service hours in the United States each year. Upon returning home, Global UGRAD alumni pursue careers in business, government, and technology, carrying American values with them. They found entrepreneurship hubs, champion U.S. standards in their industries, shape public policy, and inspire the next generation of global leaders. Read below to discover the enduring impact the Global UGRAD Program continues to have on participants and communities in the United States and abroad.
