From the very first week of classes, Beloit College is a place that challenges students to think beyond the “Beloit bubble” and to recognize their civic responsibility as individual members of a local, national, and global community.

Fourteen percent of Beloit’s student body is from around the globe, with students coming from more than 40 countries internationally. No matter where students come to campus from, all Beloiters are charged with putting their education into practice and approaching the complex problems of the world ethically and thoughtfully.

Guided by this mission, the college has a robust history of producing leaders who work to promote systemic change—in academia, industry, government, and nonprofit work. Beloit is one of few private liberal arts institutions with the McNair Scholars Program, a program that works to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented minority students in Ph.D. programs. Established in 1999, the Weissberg Program in Human Rights is a unique program that enables students to pursue academic and experiential learning opportunities that will help them to become informed, effective human rights activists—during their time at Beloit and beyond. As Weissberg Fellows, SHE-CAN scholars are financially supported through program grants and scholarships through the Liberal Arts in Practice Center.

In partnership with SHE-CAN’s mission to transform young women into confident leaders and changemakers, Beloit can further support young women who choose to utilize their time and talents to do remarkable things in the world.
