Undergraduates | Center for Global Studies

The Undergraduates audience hub selects CGS opportunities and resources of special interest to UIUC undergraduates. However, undergraduates are always welcome at all CGS events and talks, and participating in presentations by scholars in their chosen field is always a constructive part of mastering their discipline.
