Begin A lifetime of Global Learning

There are many ways to start your journey, from serving as a cultural representative to participating in international programming. If volunteering abroad is part of your plan, our exclusive Peace Corps Prep Program is a good first step.

GEO Ambassador Program

The GEO Ambassador Program (also known as Eagle I Ambassador Program) provides opportunities for international students to learn more about college life here in the U.S. through friendship with a current FGCU student while helping current students expand their education through interaction with students from abroad. These relationships enhance cultural awareness and global learning.
