Where in the world are Katies?!

They are expanding their horizons across the globe! More than 200 St. Catherine University students study abroad each year in more than 50 countries.

Currently, St. Kate's faculty are leading five January term 2010 global studies courses that span science, biology and health topics, in addition to four Global Search for Justice courses.

The University's Office of Global Studies coordinates more than 150 programs with St. Kate's faculty and with educational partners across the country.

This blog includes posts from a St. Kate's faculty member and a student:

• Physics Department Chair Terry Flower, Ph.D., is using the real world labs of Argentina, Costa Rica and Antarctica to study global warming, rain forests and penguins.

• St. Kate's student Jordyn Arndt '11 is also checking in from her Global Search for Justice j-term trip to India.
