SPAN @ Hamline
Get a world away with SPAN@ Hamline University. Changing lives through research since 1947
The Student Project for Amity among Nations, SPAN, Minnesota’s oldest study-abroad program, is now at Hamline University and ready to take Pipers and other students abroad for a unique program
Founded after World War II by a group of Minnesota students and faculty who saw the need for international understanding, SPAN has continued to serve student researchers in Minnesota to this day. In over seven decades, more than 2,500 SPANners have visited 85 countries on six continents. Nearly 100 SPANners have been graduates of Hamline University.
When participating in a SPAN @ Hamline program, students have access to the knowledge of generations of SPANners through the Minnesota SPAN Association, a non-profit organization set up to help support current students through an alumni network, volunteer opportunities, and by providing scholarships.
