Welcome to The Lawrence D. Starr
Global Studies Institute!

   The University of Saint Mary Starr Institute is a professional academic organization dedicated to the idea of promoting international awareness – in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community in which Saint Mary exists. In keeping with the ecumenical spirit of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, the Institute is equally motivated by another idea, that of championing the causes of peace and justice wherever Saint Mary has any influence and can make its voice be heard.

   We are committed to the promotion of attitudes, policies and practices that foster freedom, generosity and the equitable enrichment of life for all members of the global community.
