[Shola Sholaz]

The American University of Nigeria has created new study-abroad windows to enable highly motivated students seek experience and active responsibility beyond Nigeria.
.
AUN President, Margee Ensign, spoke about these opportunities, open from September 2015, during a recent information session organized to throw more light on the programs of the Global Liberal Arts Alliance (GLAA).
.
The Global Liberal Arts Alliance is an alliance of 27 liberal arts universities, including AUN, in 15 countries. The Great Lakes Colleges Association, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, coordinates GLAA activities and projects and was instrumental to its formation in 2009. The Alliance's programs are financed with the support of the Endeavour Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
.
The opportunities include a minor in Globalization Studies, a Global Scholar Program, and another window open on the platform of Association of American International Colleges And Universities (AAICU), a leadership organization whose members provide responsible delivery and quality assurance of American higher education outside the US. Under the first two, students will spend a year abroad in two different universities that are GLAA members.
