Prospective Students
Govies Abroad
Smart knows no boundaries. That’s why it’s no surprise that GSSM students and alumni are taking the critical-thinking skills they’ve honed in the small Pee Dee community of Hartsville and applying them to real-life situations and hands-on scientific research opportunities in far off locales ranging from Africa to Russia. Follow their experiences and read their observations as GSSM scholars leave an academic and community service imprint abroad.
