After returning from Global Trips, Upper School students shared the Lancer Lowdown on Global Perspective at Parker. The Global Studies program is designed to provide students with a variety of opportunities to experience other cultures and societies in unique ways that move beyond conventional sightseeing vacations and travel tours.
