Global Leadership and Management Graduate Students Travel to Chile Nineteen students from the Friends University Master of Global Leadership and Management (MGLM) program traveled Aug. 4-12, 2012, to Santiago, Chile. While in the MGLM program, the students have been learning about cross-cultural communication and negotiations, global business, finance, international marketing, strategy and many other aspects of global business. The residency abroad will serve as an opportunity to benchmark their academic knowledge against Chilean business reality. Dr. Valentina Chappell, director of the MGLM program, said “We visited two companies daily, listened to presentations (Chilean executives speak fluent English), and participated in round table discussions. I’m certain that these business visits were beneficial to all parties. Most of our students are experienced business people and had a lot to share with their colleagues in Latin America.”
Dr. Chappell further stated, “We worked with the Austral Group company located in Santiago for two years to organize this learning experience for the MGLM students.” While in Chile, students posted images and stories online. To view their entries, please go online to www.friends.edu/mglm-blog. What’s New With You? The Alumni Office would love to hear from you!
