Student Testimonials
“In the ever-increasing world of globalization, unique and diverse experiences are an extremely marketable component to any MBA. The GLP is one such component whereby we were able to gain first-hand experience with different cultures, customs and business practices. Our time in China was simply an amazing experience and, undoubtedly, further prepared us for our careers ahead." - Casey M Friedel '13, China 2012
“The Global Leadership Program was definitely a selling point for me when deciding which business school to attend. The program lived up to my expectations and was a phenomenal experience. I visited Japan and China for my trip. I’ve read much about these two countries - their respective histories, traditions and economies, but nothing can replace experiencing them first hand. The GLP provided me with a unique and lasting experience that is valuable for me and my future employers.” - Stephen Hansen ‘13, East Asia 2012
“The importance of the GLP, and what I learned most, was how to interact outside of [my] comfort zone... People value a variety of experiences and they really want to know that you can adapt to different situations; the two weeks we spent in Asia truly gave me that experience.” - Andrew Casson ‘11, Asia A 2010
“GLP … was a unique opportunity to see something very different from what our culture had. I got to see different parts of the world that is growing and emerging and how that has an impact on the U.S. economy as a whole…” - TJ Hill ‘11, Asia B 2010

"No amount of research could have prepared me for the actual experience. I learned more in the first few days than I did during my weeks of pre-trip research." - GLP Latin America 2005

"One year of preparation, 26,000 miles traveled, three cities, two countries, 11 amazing companies, 32 closer friends, a lifetime of memories. I don't know why a trip like this is not a standard for all business programs." - GLP Asia, 2004
"The Global Leadership Program made a positive impact on me at numerous levels: cultural sensitivity, political awareness, and historical perspective. Professionally, the program provided me with a solid foundation to advance and succeed within a global investment bank." - GLP Asia, 2003
"The Global Leadership Program transcends the classroom experience…the students are not taught an interpretation of business practices…instead, they interact with the people who live and work there." - Brian Twomey, GLP Latin America, 2001
