Global Leadership Seminars are monthly sessions in which AGL students learn about a variety of fields through interaction with experts in those fields. Topics include: International Development, Women’s Issues, Diplomacy, National Security, Humanitarian Aid, Conflict Resolution, Cybersecurity, Responses to Climate Change, Regional Issues, and others.
Various seminars also provide time and support dedicated to AGL Program Capstone Project and Portfolio development and completion.

Service Learning: Students will seek out and/or create service projects that will contribute to the experiences and skills required for the development of faithful global leaders.
Collaborative Projects: Being a part of the AGL Program and STEAM, are not mutually exclusive. In the real world, experts in Global Leadership and STEAM fields must work together to solve our most complex problems. Therefore, students from AGL and STEAM will have opportunities for frequent collaboration on a variety of projects.
Capstone Project: The Applied Global Leadership Capstone Project will showcase the student’s mastery in at least one of the main fields and approaches in Applied Global Leadership. The Applied Global Leadership Capstone Project involves research, problem-based learning, service initiatives, collaborative sub-projects, and an additional individually selected method of reporting.
