Advanced Global Citizenship
Advanced Global Citizenship consists of Speech and Debate, Model UN, Model APEC, World Quest, and TED Talks. It is aimed to raise awareness of international relations as well as to consume intellectual ideas. Matt Buongiorno explained AGC as following: "Advanced Global Citizenship offers things conventional curriculum cannot, such as an opportunity to work with pressing international issues outside the classroom and beyond the island," and Justin Brown added that it "broadens their awareness and understanding of international affairs in an exciting, competitive way."

Famous quotes containing the words advanced, global and/or citizenship:
“How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
