We hope this is just the beginning to your journey with Global Partnerships. While our partners are Christian-based, there is no requirement that our travelers be practicing Christians. We do hope that you would be open to conversations about faith in a variety of contexts, and be open to participating in faith-based activities while on the trip. Before filling out the application, please consider the following qualifications for participation: 1) Good academic and financial standing with the University 2) No open conduct cases with Residence Life or the Dean 3) Minimum GPA of 2.5 4) Interview with student trip leaders or GP Coordinator to discuss application 5) Willingness to participate in group activities/travel for extended periods of time 6) Willingness to be present, limiting things like being on the phone and “me time” while on the trips 7) Adaptability and willingness to try new things 8) Willingness to adhere to the no-alcohol/drugs policy while on the trip or during participation in GP events/fundraising. 9) Willingness to adhere to our partner’s COVID-19 protocols, including wearing a mask properly and maintaining appropriate social distance with those we serve with.
