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.

GLP Student Testimonials

 

GLP Company Visit at SCGP

"I found the speakers insights on what their company does and also what they do as individuals to be extremely valuable. I loved how passionate they were to share about how they are making an impact. In addition, I also loved how some of the different visits allowed me to picture myself working and being in their shoes."

GLP Students in Thailand

"I found it most valuable when the companies would describe their struggles and how they overcame them. The range in company size and operations were also very valuable in getting a holistic view of business on an international level."
