Global Leadership Program

 

Discover your unique leadership potential. Learn from experts. Cultivate the leader you want to be and become global ready.

Local and international students are invited to participate in the Global Leadership Program "GLP"! Students receive instruction in key leadership skills development, including Intercultural Communication, Inclusive Leadership, and Leading with Integrity. Guest lecturers include GRC President Dr. Suzanne Johnson and Vice President of International Programs and Extended Learning Dr. Wendy Stewart. The program culminates in group project, which allows students to apply the leadership skills they learn in the program. 

All meetings take place in person on campus.

Student quotes from GLP Alumni:

"I've learned that I can do anything at all if I put my mind to it, and that problems are actually very easily solved if I get the help of other people and think critically. I will use all the knowledge and skills I have improved and accumulated throughout this project in my future life whenever I need to work in group settings or think critically in response to a certain problem."

"I learned that I could become a great leader if I stopped downplaying my skills. I'm still learning to be confident in my skills and speak about my concerns to others. This program has helped me realize that I have the qualities to become a great leader."

"I gained:
1. Critical thinking skills
2. Better time management
3. Better teamwork and leadership
4. Dedication and hardworking skills
5. New friends!"

This program looks into the core of one's leadership potential from various aspects and demonstrates how gaining leadership skills is not only about becoming a leader but also about discovering yourself.” - Chia-I Chu (Joyce)
