The 2026 Global Scholars Diploma Take Action Fair & Graduation was a reminder of what’s possible when students are empowered to lead. 🌍

Sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest difference.

For GSD alumni Anna, that “small thing” was a name.

She created “Pronounce With Purpose” to help teachers say names correctly—supporting identity & belonging.

Some people leave a job. Darian Raissi chose to leave a lasting mark… literally. 😅
After nearly 2 years growing the Global Scholars Diploma, he’s off to Georgetown University to study law. ⚖️

We’ll miss him—but his impact (and face 👀) isn’t going anywhere.

A powerful close to the season from the @newalbanyfdtion:

Christian Slater on recovery, resilience & mental health, in conversation with Neda Ulaby.

Our Global Scholars are taking on youth mental health every day—real work aligned with SDG #3.

Well worth the wait.

The New Albany Lecture Series featured GSD students Ollie & Disha helping moderate a cross-partisan conversation with Carville & Priebus.

A strong example of civil discourse in action.

Global learning goes beyond the classroom.

Through programs like Global Scholars, students are building the skills to connect locally, act globally, and lead with purpose. 🌍

“Global Scholars truly taught me what I am capable of… it challenged me to grow, step outside of my comfort zone, and realize my potential. With the help of my peers and advisors, I completed my project and made a positive impact on my community.” – Leah, Big Walnut 🌍

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak from the Columbus Council on World Affairs!

Wishing peace, joy, and celebration to all who observe. 🌍💫

[Cbus World Affairs @CbusCCWA]

Why should students care about global issues?
Because, as one student put it: “We are the children of the world—we're going to be the next generation to have impact.” 🌍
The future isn’t something they inherit—it’s something they shape.
