Highlighted Program:
Marquette University's South Africa Service Learning Program, in conjunction with the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre and the University of the Western Cape, offers students the opportunity to increase their understanding of the people, history, culture, and traditions of South Africa through integrated academic coursework and direct immersion in the culture through community-based service. The program's curriculum accommodates students from all academic disciplines; courses include Theology of Reconciliation and Forgiveness, Leaders in Grassroots Organizations, and two courses of students' choice at the University of the Western Cape where they study alongside South African students. Course lectures are given by well-known scholars and important community members such as theologian John de Gruchy, literary scholar and author Antije Krog, and Linda Biehl, founder of the Amy Biehl Foundation, which works to prevent violence among the youth of South Africa through music, arts, and sports education.
While studying in Cape Town, students engage in two full days of service work at one of over a dozen non-government organizations with whom Marquette has established a connection. Service sites include but are not limited to: The Saartjie Baartman Center for Women & Children, Sibanye Economic Empowerment, the Women and Peace Building Programme, Resources Aimed at the Prevention of Child Abuse (RAPCAN), and many others which have as common themes empowerment and giving voice to the voiceless.
Students live in community with other Marquette students, giving them an opportunity to reflect upon their experiences together and to delve more deeply into issues they encounter.
Excursions to places of historical and cultural importance within South Africa are an integral part of the program and guided by the program's resident director, a Marquette faculty member.

Institutes or Centers promoting global awareness:
University Core of Common Studies committee is working on internationalizing the curriculum through the Shared Futures project.
Following is taken from "Overview" prepared by Dr. Christine Krueger
American Association of Colleges and Universities "Shared Futures: Global Learning and Social Responsibility" and the Marquette University Core of Common Studies
Marquette is one of sixteen institutions to have been chosen to participate in a 2-year AAC&U program of consultation, workshops, faculty development, and curricular design. At the end of this period, each institution should be ready to implement its project to enhance global learning and social responsibility in the general education curriculum. It must be stressed that this project is in its earliest stages at Marquette, and that it will evolve substantially through the contributions of the appropriate constituencies, including the CCRC, the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Programs and Teaching, the Board of Undergraduate Studies, Deans and Program Directors, Chairs, and-above all-participating faculty. What follows, therefore, are basic principles and a tentative forecast of the project's development and implementation. The program is co-directed by Dr. David Buckholdt, Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, and Dr. Christine Krueger, Director, University Core of Common Studies. The proposal was created by Dr. Peggy Bloom and Dr. Krueger.
Premise for Global Learning
Given that the interdependency of humans-biological, economic, technological, social, and political-transcends man-made boundaries, solutions to human problems must integrate multiple intellectual disciplines and diverse cultural forms of expertise in order to address the complexity of global interdependency.
Implication for Global Learning and General Education
In order for all students to be prepared to act as informed, ethically responsible, and productive participants in their own diverse societies, as well as in global contexts, they need a general education that exposes them to global issues in relation to their own identities, and teaches them to integrate methods and forms of knowledge, demanded for effective and responsible global problem-solving.
Goals of the Marquette University Core of Common Studies Shared Futures Project
1. To interconnect UCCS courses throughout students' entire careers so that students will experience multidisciplinary approaches to learning as an intrinsic feature of problem-solving in the global context of the 21st century.
2. To fully integrate our Core of Common Studies into our mission as a University identified with the global missions of Catholicism and Jesuit education, especially by infusing our currently strong diversity, service-learning, and justice education initiatives with attention to global issues.
3. To address these goals by creating structures for faculty to acquire expertise across disciplines, collaborate on shared global content across disciplines, and develop multidisciplinary collaborative learning opportunities for students.
