Students will get the chance to create their story through an artistic lens where self-expression and creativity meet storytelling. Choosing their favorite medium — film, music, dance or theatre — they will craft a unique and personal social media post that showcases their voice and story. Whether they're behind the camera, editing and adding music, or performing in front of the lens, they'll leave with a finished piece that captures their story, ready to share or keep as a memento of their experience and time here at GCU.
Students will explore the criminal mind and evidence collection and analysis in three mock crime scenes. Choosing between the paths of science and legal and psychology, students will collect crime scene evidence samples of "unknown" liquids and substances and identify them through experiments. Or they can dive deep into how criminals think and hypothesize what kind of criminal the suspects are from the crime scenes! Students will have the opportunity to leave with a deeper understanding of the scientific and judicial aspects of their favorite police shows and their future careers in criminology and forensics.
Step into the world of healthcare with this immersive experience. Students will begin in a mock hospital room, donning proper PPE and taking on the roles of healthcare professionals to collaboratively care for a manikin ‘'patient’’ based on a practical medical scenario. This immersive experience is followed by a trip to the cadaver lab for an up-close exploration of human anatomy. They will identify key anatomical structures, link them to the mock scenario, and discover the role in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. This unique exposure offers a glimpse into the lives of pre-medical, healthcare and nursing students, providing a firsthand look at the teamwork, problem-solving and anatomy skills essential to patient care.
Join the challenge where leadership, teamwork and problem-solving meet academic exploration! Each station represents a different college at GCU, offering engaging puzzles and challenges. Gather clues, unlock the final puzzle, and discover how these activities will simulate practical tasks, helping students visualize what a career in their chosen field might entail. At the end of a session, students will identify their top three areas of interest or potential majors if they are undecided.
Students will be immersed in a dynamic educational environment where they can explore and refine their vision of the teacher they aspire to become. They will engage in meaningful discussions about various teaching pathways, career opportunities in Arizona, and the comprehensive support GCU offers to educators.
