- [00:00:04.408]I'm Ann and Global Studies has taken me to law school.
- [00:00:06.916]I'm Seynaboo and I want to change the world.
- [00:00:09.542]I'm David and I internationalized my education at UNL.
- [00:00:12.701]I'm Sarah and I'm a Global Studies major.
- [00:00:15.041][music]
- [00:00:19.836]It's really important to think globally and be globally minded and globally aware
- [00:00:25.124]and be able to internationalize your education.
- [00:00:27.953]So Global Studies can really go with any of your interests since it's interdisciplinary.
- [00:00:33.772]It gives you the opportunity to understand so many issues from
- [00:00:37.055]so many different perspectives.
- [00:00:38.541]It really allows you to take whatever you're passionate about, look at it from
- [00:00:43.032]international perspective and really internationalize your
- [00:00:48.167]passions and your education as a result.
- [00:00:51.257]We're able to take bits and pieces of other fields and combine it in a way that's
- [00:00:57.443]personal to us and means something to us.
- [00:01:00.288]I think coming to UNL, I was really nervous.
- [00:01:01.837]You know, 24,000 students you're just going to be a number.
- [00:01:04.049]And then for some reason when you're in global studies the same people
- [00:01:07.487]keep coming up in conversation and keep coming up in your classes.
- [00:01:11.305]Then you see them in these clubs outside as well.
- [00:01:14.241]And so naturally it has to build a community.
- [00:01:17.685]Global studies, you're able to build this community, it's really amazing
- [00:01:20.371]considering it's such an interdisciplinary major and an interdisciplinary field.
- [00:01:24.990]Not only are we thinking outside of Nebraska and the United States,
- [00:01:30.660]we're thinking about issues that are happening all over the world
- [00:01:33.683]that affect everyone.
- [00:01:35.071]So it makes you feel part of a larger group that's actually working toward
- [00:01:38.570]the same goal, that wishes and desires the same thing as you do.
- [00:01:42.688]We also get to each contribute a little something different from our specific
- [00:01:48.053]fields of study that we're interested in but we can come together and all relate to that
- [00:01:53.772]because of our focus on the global aspect of it.
- [00:01:57.698]I think a UNL Global Studies major can basically take you anywhere.
- [00:02:00.236]Like it's taking me and Sarah to law school;
- [00:02:01.775]it's taking David to working with sweatshop labor organizations and it's taking
- [00:02:06.037]Seynaboo to possibly and MPA.
- [00:02:08.500]It opens so many doors.
- [00:02:11.724][music]
