GSDP Reporting survey

GOALS:

The University of Kansas Medical Center Global Scholars Distinction Program (GSDP) recognizes students who engage in educational experiences that involve working with a variety of cultures and/or with under-served communities. These experiences can be local, national, and/or global.

GSDP encourages students to combine classroom learning with experiential learning.

OBJECTIVES:

Highlight cultural awareness, knowledge and skills
Encourage students to articulate connections between courses and extra-curricular experiences
Honor those who demonstrate communication, teaching and leadership skills
Distinguish those who learn or speak a second language
Spotlight student research
