Shenandoah University

Eleven students, faculty and staff have been selected to travel to the Azores in Portugal as part of Shenandoah University's Global Citizenship Project (GCP). The trip takes place over spring break, March 6-16, 2020. Each year, students are chosen for GCP based on a written essay, their desire to experience other cultures, and their lack of previous travel experience. Participants learn of their destination only after they've been selected for GCP. Destinations this year are the Azores, Cameroon, Bhutan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Colombia, Malaysia and Indonesia. The program started in 2005.
