Global Engagement Program Awards Ceremony

WMU’s Global Engagement Program (GEP) celebrates and honors students for their global engagement with an awards ceremony each spring. Through participation in global events and courses, students earn different statuses like Global Bronco, Global Explorer and Global Citizen. Each status comes with unique rewards, including scholarships for studying abroad. 

Nearly 180 students were recognized for earning a new GEP status in 2025. WMU staff members were also honored for their support of the program, including Danielle Field, director of the Student Professional Readiness Series; William McQuitty, institutional research analyst and instructor of GIST 3100: Global Studies in the Field; and Giulia Hayes, scholarship specialist in Student Financial Aid.

The GEP is an initiative of the Haenicke Institute for Global Education. This event is invite only. Contact the Global Engagement Program staff for additional information.
