An invitation-only year-long Freshman Leadership Seminar with opportunities for social activities, networking, advising, and a trip to Thailand.
Global Leadership Program
The Global Leadership Program (GLP) is a groundbreaking program open by invitation only to the most academically talented students in each incoming freshmen class. GLP consists of a fall course (BUAD 101 Freshman Leadership Seminar) and spring course (BUAD 102 Global Leadership Seminar) as well as outside opportunities for social activities, networking, and advising. The experience is capped off with a visit to Thailand. During the trip, students meet with executives from some of the top companies, and local and national government officials. In their latter years, GLP Alumni have the opportunity to plan events and mentor younger students while continuing to travel abroad to learn about the global impact of business.
