INTERNATIONAL STUDIES – A COMPLETE EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
International Studies is an enrichment option for Champlain students in any program of study. Our primary aim is to help students build knowledge and understanding of the world’s many peoples and nations. Students attend and help organize our annual symposium and other events, participate in clubs (such as Amnesty International, WUSC, the Bishop’s/Champlain Refugee Sponsorship project and Invisible Children), and enroll in internationally-focused courses. This enrichment option is flexible to meet student needs. |
