“Not much besides… the weekend went really, really well.” Said by Rachel DeMesa and honestly, that says it all.
GELE is officially back for the first time since Fall 2023, bringing together 100+ students from 10 Penn State campuses and 30+ countries.
The Global Engagement and Leadership Experience is more than just a program. It is a space to learn, reflect, and grow across cultures, identities, and perspectives. 🌍
