Why is this work important?
“We want our students to lead wherever their careers take them. Regardless of the career or profession, we are seeing increasing diversity and globalization. Our students are going to have to confront and grapple with those complex issues and we want to provide them with the tools to lead effectively.”
Christy Glass, Intersections Director
Summary of project

All three programs feature 18 credit hours of coursework in addition to events, workshops, lectures, and conferences. These fields of study are intended to compliment majors campus-wide.
