Global Scholars Hall

previous	next

The Global Scholars Hall, set to open in fall 2012, creates a home for 450 students immersed in a challenging world of global study and culture. The building features a variety of living spaces and an inspiring design, incorporating spaces for classes, dining, performance, and residential faculty. To learn more about this community please visit the Global Scholars Community page.

The Global Scholars Hall provides a dynamic learning environment for students seeking a comprehensive academic experience, such as those enrolled in the Robert D. Clark Honors College, College Scholars, or the global scholars language programs in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, and French.

Each of the residential communities has its own purpose, and each shares the goal of promoting global citizenship. Through activities such as campus United Nations, World Café, and international virtual summits, students can gather and join the global conversation. Building features include a resident scholar, a learning commons and librarian, five incorporated classrooms, a multipurpose performance room with elevated stage, study rooms, a presentation practice room, and the Fresh Marketcafé.

Spaces in the hall are filled by the Academic Residential Programs (ARP) in partnership with University Housing. Students enrolled in these programs are given priority to live in the hall. New students may not directly choose the Global Scholars Hall when applying for housing, but must contact, enroll in, and be placed by one of the ARP.
