24. Charting Global Citizens: Scott Marshall on Semester at Sea’s 61-Year Voyage

Episode 24 of Jim Eskin’s Nonprofit North Stars spotlights Scott Marshall, President & CEO of Semester at Sea’s Institute for Shipboard Education. From a shipboard campus that visits 8–10 countries per voyage to “cohorts of distinction” (Engineering at Sea and an AI certificate track), Scott shares how immersive global learning builds purpose-driven leaders. We dig into student selection and diversity, scholarships (including ~$5M/year in aid), alumni impact, and practical ways to support this North Star organization.

Tune in to hear how Semester at Sea turns curiosity into courage—and education into impact.
