Missouri State Welcomes U.S. Department of State Global UGRAD-Pakistan Students in Spring 2020

January 30, 2020 by Samantha Francka

Missouri State University is pleased to welcome new international students to campus as part of the U.S. Department of State’s Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Pakistan (Global UGRAD-Pakistan). Abdul, Mehr Un, and Nayyab joined the #InternationalBears family for the Spring 2020 semester.

UGRAD-Pakistan program success

The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program places participants at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester of non-degree academic study. It is part of a broader U.S. Department of State effort to promote greater understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Since the program’s inception in 2010, Global UGRAD-Pakistan has provided nearly 1,800 talented, highly motivated undergraduate student leaders from underserved populations across Pakistan with the opportunity to study at a U.S. college or university.

Student experience

Through semester-long academic study, exploration of U.S. culture, participation in community service projects, and interactions with Americans in their host communities and campuses, Global UGRAD- Pakistan participants develop expertise in their academic fields, gain a broad and nuanced understanding of American culture and values, and go on to share this understanding of the United States with their communities when they return home. Over the past nine years, participants have volunteered over 36,000 hours of service in communities across the United States.

Global UGRAD-Pakistan participants enrich the lives of the Americans they meet by sharing their unique viewpoints and backgrounds and bringing a global perspective to their host communities. These ties endure, with over 95% of program alumni maintaining relationships with Americans they met while in the United States.
