We also coordinate with our faculty to teach overseas or lead international study tours. We are committed to preparing Saint Martin’s students to be socially responsible global citizens, dedicated to serving others in the global community. Our goals include the following:
• To strengthen connections between international and domestic communities.
• To offer and support international programs and events that celebrate intercultural awareness and promote personal discovery.
• To enable international students to have a successful experience at Saint Martin’s University.
• To provide support and promote discovery of other cultures, both on campus and overseas. Please come by and visit with us. We are happy to have you as a part of our international community!
