Upper School
Collegiate's Senior Capstone course Global Public Health strives to answer the question, "In an increasingly globalized world, how should we best address public health for human populations given their unique cultural, economic, environmental and political situations?" In the course, students seek to understand the unique challenges affecting citizens across multiple regions both domestically and internationally.
“Connecting across differences –whether on campus, in our Richmond community, nationally or abroad–helps our students to develop curiosity, resilience, and confidence in new environments, build empathy, and better understand how others’ lived stories influence their perspectives." Monica Melton, Director of Global Engagement
