IN THE SPOTLIGHT The Academic - Cultural Engagement Rendezvous with Walton College of Business

It is a world full of possibilities at FIIB every summer that enriches the knowledge of students extensively and help them understand the vastness of the world. Stepping out of the comfort zone is a crucial aspect of a good business manager-leader. FIIB-Walton College Acculturation Program takes care of this. A study away from study yet so realistic in pedagogy, this exchange program is an experience that accounts for global learning procedures, diversity and cross cultural engagement. FIIB and Sam Walton Business School students went through a series of tasks and sessions together from 15th May 2015 to 17th May 2015 that turned out to be culturally enriching and academically rewarding. The Program was a gateway to experience life and undergo realistic learning for FIIB students from a different world perspective.
