The Levermore Global Scholars Program

“I’m in the Levermore Global Scholars Program.”

The previous is a statement that many of us in LGS are certainly proud to say, but that declaration often gathers questioning looks, blank stares, and the unavoidable “What is LGS?”

So just what is LGS?

LGS could easily be defined by its program requirements and various classes that a student has to take, but I think that the best way to "define" LGS is to take a look at the students who make up the program.

LGS is very student-oriented, and no matter what class—freshman, sophomore, junior, senior—a student is in, he or she can easily start an initiative based on an idea. The program has many dedicated and creative people who have started and maintained initiatives to better the community. Once the students were given the opportunity to start their own initiatives it was clear that the sky is the limit when it comes LGS scholars and the drive they possess!

To any incoming LGS Freshman: don't be afraid to start something just because you're new to Adelphi! All of the students in the program are friendly, driven people and will easily help anyone with a great idea in mind. So whether you're a freshman or a junior, get moving!

The LGS program has come a long way in the two years that I've been involved with it. It went from having one group of confused Adelphi freshmen to a program that is not only accepting a third class of LGS scholars, but has students actively involved in the community and on campus, participating in internships in the community, and studying abroad. If the program has come this far in the span of just two years, then it's clear that great things will come from LGS and its students.
