The Lawrence D. Starr Global Studies Institute at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, is a professional academic organization dedicated to the idea of promoting international awareness in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community at large. We are committed to the promotion of attitudes, policies, and practices that foster freedom, generosity, and the equitable enrichment of life for all. We are dedicated to studying the history, trends, problems, implications, and potential of the ever-integrating global community.
At the Global Studies Institute, we strive to add an international dimension to every academic aspect of the university. We endeavor to offer students a variety of experiences focused on the international environment: study, work or travel experiences abroad, language training, and internships in businesses, government, and non-governmental agencies engaged in international activities. In all we do, we support the principles of peace, justice, freedom, and human rights.
