Onboard Residential Life
The Scholar Ship's academic and residential life programs were designed to develop intercultural leadership skills.
On board, students were immersed in a multicultural living environment. The goal was for the international student body, faculty and staff to form a learning community. This transnational learning community integrated academic, cultural, and social experiences into the program in a way that sought to enhance personal and professional development.
Every student belonged to a small residential community group. Residential communities congregated throughout the voyage for discussions and community-building activities that were intended to support the Scholar Ship’s learning outcomes and social aspects of the program.
