Throughout the semester, participants will gain the skills needed to implement long-term civic and economic changes in their home communities while fostering cross-cultural understanding through academic study, service-learning projects, and cultural activities. While interacting with Americans in the community and on campus, Global UGRAD-Pakistan students become student “ambassadors” for Pakistan. They will make presentations about their home country and cultures at local schools and organizations, sharing their unique perspectives and backgrounds. Upon return home, Global UGRAD-Pakistan students will share their understanding of the United States with friends, family, and others in their communities. The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Pakistan is a program of the U.S. Department of State. Follow the participants on Twitter @ECAatState or @UGRADPakistan and #UGRADPK2015.
