Objectives of the Program

To support and develop interdisciplinary understanding of and proposed solutions to urgent global issues
To establish an international collaboration on specific topics for scholarship
To connect GLS students to repeatable international learning experiences that combine leadership with specific academic related projects or activities

Program Guidelines and Activities:

The Global Leadership Scholars program provides support for students who want to focus their studies on leadership in a particular area and in a specific international location.

The program advisors will work with students to help them focus their interests in an international site and will assist them in locating appropriate programs or study abroad activities in which they can reach their goals of incorporating leadership study with their chosen academic area.

Scholars will have support for studying in an international site twice during the program and for focusing their study on the leadership in their academic area with the culture of the specific country.
