Global Grizzlies

UM students of all majors are invited to participate in the Global Grizzlies, an ASUM student group based in the Davidson Honors College.The purpose of Global Grizzlies is to provide aid to developing nations around the world, acting as humanitarian ambassadors for The University of Montana.

Global Grizzlies have embarked on an international service-learning program in which students have the opportunity to combine their classroom education with the real-world experience of a lifetime.  In the summer of 2008, the Global Grizzlies will travel with Reach the Children, a humanitarian aid organization, to Buluba, Uganda to work in St. Francis Leprosy Hospital.  Trained in basic medical skills, such as CPR and first aid, the Global Grizzlies will work to help provide medical care and counseling for those in need.  Through the support of the Davidson Honors College, students will also be educated about the global health issues and the historical, political and social context of the destination country prior to travel.  In doing this, the Global Grizzlies hope to work both towards change in the world and, perhaps more importantly, change in themselves.
