Global Citizenship: In Pursuit of Liberty (HIST 444J)

“Global Citizenship is the best class that I have taken at UNH. The discussion-based classes allowed us to explore topics that we were interested in, and our final projects could be on whatever we wanted which allowed us to be creative and share with the class what we were passionate about. I learned so much about what it means to be a global citizen, and how I can use that knowledge to better the UNH community.”
