FCC provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to become more globally connected by experiencing diverse cultures while earning college credit. This also helps community members understand each other better and thus strengthen relationships across different backgrounds and cultures.
Mission Statement
The Global Learning Committee at Frederick Community College facilitates the development of on- and off-campus global experiences (known as Global Learning Initiatives) that help students, faculty, and staff gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible, successful citizens in a globally-connected world.
Committee Chair
