For his Global Perspective summer, Jake Patterson ’25 is traveling throughout the United States and Scotland “on a search for the heart of golf.”

The scholar has been caddying on the Epson Tour for Alyaa Abdulghany, a professional golfer.

The scholar said creating lifelong relationships with people he’s met along the way has been the most meaningful aspect of the summer.

“Golf is more than a score: it’s a dynamic experience that brings so many fascinating people together,” he said. “I’m thankful to the Morehead-Cain Foundation for giving me the support to catalyze these relationships and gain an up-close understanding of what makes golf so special, at all levels.”

The Global Perspective summer is an opportunity to conduct an independent research project or learn about a new sector or part of the world through a more traditional internship.
