Students performing in Global Citizen Day Celebration.

On the evening of Nov. 15, 2018, Loyola Marymount University community members gathered on Alumni Mall with souvenir passports in hand as they participated in the Office of International Students and Scholar’s (OISS) annual Global Citizen Day, held in partnership with ASLMU, Study Abroad and the Center for Service and Action. This event invited the LMU community to learn about international opportunities for study and service as well as engage with diverse cultural groups on campus, promoting interculturality and global consciousness among members and developing an understanding of what it means to Become a Global Citizen.

The plaza was full of life, color and music as booths and tables lined the square. As attendees collected “stamps” from each unique “destination” around the globe, they were introduced to the diverse collection of globally-oriented organizations and programs that all have found a home in the LMU community. Among them were international students, like Abbey Grosse ‘21, a communications and public relations major from Perth, Australia, who understands her engagement with a place so far from her home country as a responsibility in creating a broader worldview.
