峰会 begins the moment you arrive on campus as a first-year and is woven into each of your four years here with courses and co-curricular experiences in global learning and leadership development that prepare you for leading change in a global society.
Your 峰会 peer advisor, a trained upperclass student, will help you adjust to life on campus.
为高峰周做好准备! The week before spring break is dedicated to special experiences like Global Journeys — faculty-led trips across the U.S. and the world — and Sophomore Class Atlanta Leadership Experience (SCALE), which pairs students with Atlanta-area businesses and nonprofits. 在你大三或大四的时候, choose an applied career experience to build digital skills, 特定职业领域的内容和网络.
全球学习
峰会 ensures that thinking globally begins with learning globally. You will embark on a faculty-led global immersion experience, 学习一门非英语语言, and get involved in activities to better understand identity and culture in an interconnected world.
Every Agnes Scott student takes a Global Journey — a course that includes an eight-day faculty-led trip — in their first year.
Journeys Martinique focuses on the postcolonial problems of the country. 在学期中, students learn about the community and the way in which Martinique relates to the wider world.
Journeys Ghana examines Ghana as a window into West Africa's relationship to the African Diaspora, and a case study for analyzing the ongoing impact of historical forces.

学业和职业上的成功是相辅相成的. 峰会 prepares students with the career competencies needed to explore and engage professional possibilities and achieve early career success, 跨越每一个专业和广泛的职业目标.
自我发现和职业曝光很早就发生了，而且经常发生. 在教室里和教室外, 专业人士是常客, showcasing relevance between liberal arts learning and professional impact and motivating students to engage in Career Communities. From Legacy and SCALE Leadership immersions to in-course career exposure, relevant professional connection is built into the 峰会 experience.
学习敏捷性, collaboration and inclusive leadership are just a few of the professional skills developed with every 峰会 leadership and global immersion.
