Message from the Directors The 2018–2019 academic year was our first full year as the Elenore and Robert F. Moran Sr. Center for Global Leadership (MCGL). That designation and support has helped to further reinforce the important work that we do on behalf of students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders committed to global education. The year brought several new innovations to MCGL. We introduced a novel “Maymester” program that allows students to study abroad in an intensive format, after finals but before summer internships. The inaugural program was in Sydney, Australia, with plans to expand in spring 2020 to Berlin, Germany.

We were successful in developing and securing approval for an innovative Global Business Concentration for students outside of VSB to gain an international business credential. Creating this multidisciplinary concentration allows VSB to fully leverage its global resources to the benefit of its international business majors and students from across the University interested in a global business concentration. Our longstanding partnership with University of Urbino in Italy has expanded to include cooperation around their PhD program in Global Studies, allowing PhD students to visit and collaborate with Villanova faculty and VSB faculty to teach short courses in Urbino. In addition, a new fall program will permit students from VSB and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to study in Urbino and take coursework at the interface of marketing and communications. We were fortunate to host several high-level speakers at Villanova in collaboration with our outreach partners. These included Janet Napolitano, who served as the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in the Obama administration and was the 21st governor of Arizona, and Robert Lawrence, a former member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors now at Harvard University who provided the keynote address for our Research Insights Symposium on “The Future of Globalization.” These and other programs, including a panel on trade wars, underscore MCGL’s commitment to serving not just Villanova University but the broader regional community.
Michelle Casario, PhD Assistant Professor, Economics; Co-Faculty Director, Moran Center for Global Leadership
We continue to provide substantial financial support for our students through the Freeman Foundation grant, our Rammrath Scholarships and other sources, allowing an increasing number of students to broaden their horizons by studying and interning abroad. We worked closely with the various student professional societies and individual students as they considered their global educational options and programming. We also welcomed a new member of the team—Gloria Angel—as our program administrator, who brings a wealth of experience to MCGL and has already added great value to our programs and initiatives. Finally, we had the pleasure of honoring one of our longstanding Advisory Council members, Rich Heintzelman ’81 VSB, as MCGL’s recipient for the Above and Beyond Service Recognition at our fall meeting. This was a fitting tribute to one of the many individuals who have contributed so much to MCGL over the years. We thank all of those who have supported MCGL and advocated for continued global exchange and opportunities for our students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders.

Center Introduces Inaugural Maymester Program
The Elenore and Robert F. Moran Sr. Center for Global Leadership (MCGL) developed and led Villanova’s first intensive course abroad for undergraduates with a Maymester experience in Sydney, Australia. Students completed a special section of the required Global Political Economy course with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Students gained an understanding of the political, economic and historic origins of the region while experiencing cultural immersion by living and studying in an international and multicultural city. While completing academic coursework, students participated in corporate site visits and cultural programming. The program consisted of lectures from faculty at Villanova University and the University of Technology Sydney, as well as company site visits and meetings. Business meetings included Salesforce, Nestlé, Oracle, 3M Australia, AMP Wealth, BDO Financial Services and AGL Energy. Cultural activities included a bridge climb, harbor boat tour and a wildlife park where students learned about eco-tourism, aboriginal rock art and traditional bush medicine. The quality of business meetings and company site visits, combined with the academic lectures, provided the student participants an excellent opportunity to learn about the complexities of doing business in the Asia-Pacific region. This new intensive course abroad attracted students underserved in traditional study abroad programs who are unable or unwilling to participate in semester- or summerlong programs. MCGL Director Kim Cahill noted, “In my previous experience, I found that students who are cautious about embarking on an international experience are often emboldened after a short-term program and go on to participate in a summer or semester abroad. Others are willing to be more adventurous because of the shortterm nature and will then gain interest in traveling to more adventurous locations.”

This program was the only chance for Elizabeth Pianucci ’20 CLAS to study abroad prior to graduation. She commented, “The Sydney Maymester Program was hands down the best two weeks of my entire life! You often hear that studying abroad will change your perspective, but I can honestly say that participating in this program changed my life. Immersing myself in all that Sydney had to offer along with some of the most amazing Villanovans that I have met so far opened my eyes to a world that I never imagined before. I learned what it truly means to be a global citizen and have been inspired to pursue a career that will continue to push me beyond our borders. Between classes, business meetings, cultural experiences and adventures on my own, my experience in Sydney fostered a level of personal growth that I never could have anticipated. I am forever grateful to Villanova and the Moran Center for Global Leadership for making this study abroad dream come true.”

“The Moran Center for Global Leadership made my dreams of becoming a global citizen possible through the endless support, scholarships and love of cross-cultural experiences. GLF inspired me to pursue a future in international business and I could not be more grateful for the community I will have with me when I graduate.”
“The GLF program gave me the knowledge and experience to prepare me for a career in public health and challenged me to grow into a more confident individual and future business leader. My favorite memories in college are from my times abroad in the UK, Madagascar and Australia. Exposure to international travel and cross-cultural friendships through this program have made me the person that I am today.”
–Shivani Vora ’19 VSB
–Nicole Anderson ’19 VSB
“The GLF program and the Moran Center for Global Leadership highlighted the importance of applying a global frame to any college education. The GLF curriculum and my study abroad experiences in London, Shanghai and São Paulo developed my understanding of global markets and prepared me for a career involving finance, economics and international business.” –Manisha Banala ’19 VSB
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS “The GLF program encouraged me to challenge myself both academically and interpersonally. I had the opportunity to live, study and work in Shanghai, China and Urbino, Italy. My Villanova career was defined by my abroad experiences. I made lifelong friendships and ultimately discovered my passion for a career in consulting. I gained a better understanding of the global economic and business climates and am confident that these experiences prepared me well for a career in consulting.”
“I couldn’t be happier to have found a program and group that shared the exact vision that I have for business and for students. GLF assured me of the added value that international experiences have to your degree. In turn, navigating the complex scenarios of study abroad taught me about myself as much as the country that hosted me.”

VSB Expands Partnership with University of Urbino VSB and the University of Urbino have expanded their partnership to include cooperation with Urbino’s PhD in Global Studies and the addition of a fall semester program building on the successful spring Business and Culture in the Italian Context program for business students. The PhD partnership will officially launch at a ceremony in Urbino October 2 to welcome the new PhD cohort and will include lectures by Urbino and Villanova faculty. Jonathan Doh, PhD, associate dean of Research, Herbert G. Rammrath Endowed Chair in International Business and co-faculty director for The Elenore and Robert F. Moran Sr. Center for Global Leadership, spearheaded this initiative for Villanova while Antonello Zanfei, professor and PhD director, oversees the agreement for Urbino. VSB faculty will teach short PhD courses in Urbino on topics such as international business and international economic policy while one or two PhD students from Urbino will visit VSB each year to undertake research with a VSB faculty member or members. Dr. Doh remarked, “This arrangement provides our faculty the opportunity to teach and conduct seminars with high-caliber PhD students in Urbino and to work on research with those students at Villanova. Our goal is to develop strong global partnerships that further our reputation and provide opportunities for our faculty and students. This agreement may provide a model for other arrangements with universities around the globe to simultaneously advance our global and research footprint.” The new Communications, Society and Marketing in the Italian Context multi-disciplinary program will launch in fall 2019 and brings together students from business and liberal arts to explore modern Italian society and culture through contemporary coursework in marketing, communication and language. MCGL collaborated with the Center for Marketing and Consumer Insights to provide study abroad scholarships for the program. Aronté Bennett, PhD, associate chair of Marketing & Business Law, will lead the inaugural cohort in September.

She has been the first woman to serve in several offices, including attorney general of Arizona, secretary of Homeland Security and president of the University of California. Napolitano is the 1977 Truman Scholar from New Mexico. At DHS, Secretary Napolitano led the nation’s efforts to prevent terrorist attacks, overseeing critical enhancements to aviation security and transforming security capabilities through cohesive and effective organization. During her tenure, DHS shifted its approach to immigration enforcement to better protect public safety, while simultaneously creating a more humane enforcement system. Secretary Napolitano spearheaded the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. Secretary Napolitano offered an insightful analysis of homeland security since 9/11, assessing the progress that has been made and the new areas of concern that have emerged, including security threats from cyber intrusions into US elections and cyber threats to critical infrastructure in energy, financial and communication networks. She covered the evolution of terrorism, the increased threat that political blind spots pose to homeland security and a prescription for the future.
Dr. Doh appeared twice on the syndicated NPR program Marketplace, where he was interviewed regarding US-China trade tensions, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and other trade and investment issues. He has also been active in making presentations to business and academic groups. These include presentations to the Academy of International Business in Minneapolis, the Academy of Management in Chicago, the Strategic Management Society in Paris, the University of Sydney and several others.

Center Honors Rich Heintzelman MCGL was pleased to honor Advisory Council member Rich Heintzelman ’81 VSB as the Center’s recipient for the Above and Beyond Service Recognition at our fall meeting. Heintzelman joined the Advisory Council in fall 2011 and has been generous with his time, treasure and global network. Heintzelman mentored Global Leadership Fellows students and helped them secure internships and permanent placements after graduation. Heintzelman also established a summer internship opportunity in Shanghai, China, at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions. Three students have participated to date and Heintzelman’s support is ongoing. Peter Mahotiere ’18 VSB had his first internship experience with Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics the summer after his freshman year. Mahotiere stated, “I was provided with the opportunity to increase my global acumen [and] relationship building as well as my change agility. My experiences in Shanghai with Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics gave me the courage to pursue further abroad opportunities during my college experience. I studied in Berlin, Germany, for a semester and traveled back to Asia after graduation last year. The culmination of my curiosity for international relations led me to co-major in Economics and International Business. I want to work abroad during my professional career, which led me to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers, which operates on a global scale.”
“ Without the opportunity provided by the VSB Shanghai Internship Program, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and ultimately Mr. Heintzelman, I would not have garnered the global intellectual curiosity that I have to this day.” –Peter Mahotiere ’18 VSB Heintzelman currently serves as head of Business Development for Terminals and Equipment Processing Centers at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions, covering North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He was previously head of Commercial for Land Based Products, as well as head of Commercial for all oceanrelated services within the Americas. Prior to that, Heintzelman was vice president and general manager for the Middle East at ARC, a Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA company. He was previously based in Tokyo at WWL Asia as head of Commercial, as well as head of the region. Rich credits a fellow Villanovan in the shipping industry as instrumental in securing his first job in the field. Heintzelman is a graduate of Villanova University with a BS degree in Business Administration. He has completed executive education courses in global leadership development at IMD in Switzerland and China. His professional background includes having served in senior management and executive positions with United States Lines and Mitsui OSK Lines (America). Heintzelman resides in New Jersey with his wife, Gabby. He met Gabby when they were both college students as she attended nearby Rosemont College. All three of their daughters graduated from Villanova: Margaret ’18 VSB, Clare ’16 FCN and Hanah ’14 CLAS. Margaret added, “Despite living half a world away, he never missed a game—even though sometimes his only choice was to listen on the radio. When we were old enough to join sports teams, there was no question as to what sport his girls would play. My dad’s love for Villanova (and obsession for Wildcat basketball) has clearly been passed on to his daughters—all three of us are proud alumni. We are so incredibly grateful to our dad for introducing us to Villanova where we not only received a wonderful education but also made lifelong friends.”

VSB Students Participate in International Business Case Competitions MCGL sponsored four students to compete in an international business (IB) case competition at the National Association of Small Business International Trade Educators (NASBITE) annual conference in Savannah, Georgia in the spring. T.J. Reed ’20 VSB International Business and Economics Becca Gleeson ’20 VSB Management Information Systems, Business Analytics and Marketing Ian MacPherson ’20 VSB International Business and Economics Paolo Caponong ’20 VSB International Business, Marketing and Business Analytics The international business case competition provides students with the opportunity to highlight their knowledge and talents in a unique international business learning-lab venue while sharpening their critical thinking and presentation skills. Students can apply what they have learned in the classroom and gain real-world experience in a competitive environment. This is a great way for business students to learn how to work in teams, under very tight time constraints, and to achieve a solution that is well researched and feasible to reach. Student teams test their research skills, presentation abilities and sales acumen to win over a panel of global corporate executives that serve as judges. This year’s competition was sponsored by AdEdge Water Technologies and students were tasked with identifying the best foreign market entry strategy to expand their exports. The competition is unique in presenting students with an actual issue that the company is currently confronting in its global business operations. Our students made it to the final four and received honorable mention. Paolo commented, “The 2019 NASBITE IB case competition was both challenging and exciting. My team was tasked with conducting extensive research to determine the most effective export strategy for AdEdge Water Technologies, LLC, a water treatment solutions company. We based our analysis on a variety of factors, including economic, political and cultural considerations, from which we determined the overall market potential of different industries and countries. I am proud to say that my team tied for second place among the 17 schools that participated. I speak on behalf of my team in saying that we are incredibly grateful to the Moran Center for Global Leadership for funding this terrific opportunity.”
2019 IB Case Competition Team
Teams of four students compete in this bracketed competition featuring 15-minute presentations and a rigorous Q&A period. The case itself is not disclosed until it is distributed to the competitors at the conclusion of the opening ceremony.
“
I was very impressed with the effort that our students put into this competition. They were cited for their extensive research and strategic approach. They also received high marks for their presentation delivery. I was proud of the job they did—very professional and a great representation of Villanova. I look forward to working with them again in the fall.”
The same group will compete in the fall at the Northeastern University CUIBE IB Case Competition. D’Amore-McKim School of Business has hosted this competition since 2010 and presents an intellectually demanding opportunity to bring students from 14 different institutions together.

Net Impact is a global community of students and professionals who strive to become the most effective agents of change possible. The students were inspired by talks given by various professionals in the business world who are interested in and deeply passionate about sustainability, ethical business practices and social justice.
This conference helped give four Villanovans and 2,000 others the skills, experiences and connections that will allow them to have the greatest impact now and throughout their careers. Caitlin Welsh ’19 VSB

“The highlight for me was hearing Stephen Ritz from the Green Bronx Machine speak. Green Bronx Machine is a group that works to strengthen the communities of the Bronx using education and a school-based model as a tool to decrease food insecurity, reduce childhood poverty, and increase school attendance and passing rates. I hope that others are inspired by the Green Bronx Machine and see how the model might benefit their communities and the neighborhoods around them.”
“The Net Impact Conference in Phoenix was energizing and motivating. As an international student from Turkey, I have tried to explain what social entrepreneurship is to people in my community for many years. At this conference, I was so encouraged and supported not only by my fellow Villanovans who attended, but also by the speakers, students and professionals present who courageously shared stories of how they overcame their struggles and kept fighting to make the world a better place.”

“There is no way to describe the energy during the very first event of the 2018 Net Impact Conference. Almost 2,000 change makers in one city lead to thousands of new friendships, the creation of influencers and visionaries, and so many important conversations about how to create a just and sustainable world.”
“Coming into this conference, I knew that I was interested in pursuing a career in sustainability. Reflecting on my experiences that weekend, I realize that there are so many different professions where I can pursue that passion. After learning about careers in areas like climate action, equity, mobility and food solutions, I was excited to bring everything I learned back to Villanova to share with my peers.”
The mission of Business Without Borders is to bridge the gap between need and resources for both international and domestic organizations. Our goal is to use the expertise, equipment and resources that are available through US businesses to equip and empower projects and organizations that are striving to make a difference in the lives of others.

Center Develops Global Business Concentration
Business Dynamics Globalization Panel
MCGL developed VSB’s first multidisciplinary concentration for non-business students seeking a global business credential.
On October 5, the Moran Center for Global Leadership once again hosted a series of panels on globalization for more than 550 VSB freshmen and transfer students enrolled in the foundational Business Dynamics course.
The Global Business Concentration (GBC) requires four international business (IB) courses or a combination of study abroad and three IB courses with foreign language proficiency. Creating the multidisciplinary GBC will allow VSB to fully leverage its global resources to the benefit of its IB co-majors and students from across the University interested in a global business concentration.
The panels featured members of the Moran Center Advisory Council, including Steve DeRose ’76 VSB, Meghan Gora ’10 VSB, Allison Meade ’16 VSB, Anthony Chiarello ’77 CLAS, Jeff Davis ’02 VSB, Rich Heintzelman ’81 VSB, Erica Chuong ’17 VSB, and Management & Operations Professor of Practice Manny Nunez, along with students Paolo Caponong ’20 VSB and Ian MacPherson ’20 VSB. Moran Center Co-Faculty Director Jonathan Doh, PhD, moderated.
Globalization brings extraordinary changes in international economic relations. Concepts of time, distance and markets are constantly changing and evolving due to innovation in communications, transportation and information technology.
Business Dynamics students and faculty engaged with the panelists in a wide-ranging discussion of global business and economic issues. Given the uncertainty around the United States’ commitment to open trade and trade agreements, the discussion focused especially on prospects for continued global economic expansion, as well as the challenges faced by the global trading system.
As a result, companies and organizations need new kinds of leaders—individuals who not only have strong functional skills, but who are comfortable managing and communicating across cultures. These individuals understand the potential and risks of new markets and can think globally while acting locally. MCGL believes that all students should have exposure to and develop an appreciation of culture, political systems, religious traditions and economic institutions to become thoughtful and effective global citizens. MCGL Director Kim Cahill will oversee this initiative with guidance from a committee consisting of departmental representatives and deans from VSB and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Cahill stated, “The GBC supports a curriculum that inspires both a global perspective and an informed respect for the differences among people and cultures. It encourages interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship and prepares global citizens to contribute to a just and peaceful world.” Opening IB courses to non-business students will deepen and strengthen the IB program and positions VSB in a servantleadership role while developing leaders for a better world. Increased diversity in the classroom will enhance the overall learning experience for everyone. Students outside of the business school will boost their competitiveness with a global business credential in an increasingly interconnected and international world. MCGL will incorporate GBC students into a variety of its extracurricular offerings with the Global Leaderships Fellows program, including global networking events and IB case competitions. The new concentration will launch in spring 2020.
International Business Society Maintains Momentum The mission of the International Business Society (IBS) is to provide a global perspective for students interested in internationally related careers. IBS brings together domestic and international students, invites companies and speakers to share international aspects of business, and provides students with valuable information regarding jobs, internships and study abroad opportunities. IBS continues to hold bi-weekly meetings with the IB Council that facilitate discussion of internationally focused business topics divided into five world regions: North America, South America, Europe, Asia/Oceania and Africa. At each meeting, members bring at least one article that they have researched and share what is specific to current business or cultural news in their assigned region. Center Directors Kim Cahill and Michelle Casario serve as the advisors for IBS.

Increased participation in the Consular Corps Association of Philadelphia programming gives MCGL access to the ambassador and honorary consul members from 49 countries around the world. Affiliation with the Global Philadelphia Association increases MCGL’s visibility through the membership of more than 200 global organizations and businesses focused on enhancing the region’s global profile. Serving on the Mid-Atlantic District Export Council and participating in US Commercial Service and World Trade Center programs and initiatives gives MCGL access to resources and companies exporting in our region.
Global Programs Committee Oversees VSB Initiatives MCGL Center Director Kim Cahill and Co-Faculty Director Michelle Casario chaired the VSB Global Programs Committee. Under their leadership, the committee evaluated and approved several new VSB global initiatives, including the inaugural Maymester program in Australia; the new Marketing and Communications Program in Urbino, Italy; and the Global Business Concentration for non-VSB students. The Global Programs Committee also reviewed the memorandums of understanding for VSB’s graduate business program with Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance and for VSB’s collaboration with the University of Urbino’s PhD program in Global Studies, providing unanimous support for both initiatives. The committee is made up of faculty from each department and staff members from MCGL, the Clay Center and the Office of Education Abroad. The purpose of the VSB committees is to advance the strategic agendas of the School while simultaneously supporting the larger purposes of the University. In addition to reviewing proposals for new programs and partnerships, the committee also reviews all existing global programs on an annual basis.

Student Spotlight: Nicole Anderson ’19 VSB
A Toolkit for Positive Impact Nicole Anderson ’19 came to VSB with a passion for improving lives and left with much more. Before even arriving at Villanova, Nicole Anderson read Mountains Beyond Mountains about Partners in Health founder Dr. Paul Farmer. The story of one man’s mission to bring health care to the world’s poorest regions made Anderson think about how much health care depends on social and economic factors. Before long, she knew business would be her path to making a difference. Anderson chose VSB because it offered the ideal combination of business, social justice and global learning. As a double major in International Business and Management and a Global Leadership Fellow, she focused on world health issues. She spent the summer after her sophomore year in Madagascar visiting remote villages to evaluate community health programs. While poring over cardboard boxes of hospital records, she recognized how the absence of technology made these communities invisible to health policymakers. That inspired her to intern for a data science firm in Sydney, Australia the following year where she completed an international economics thesis on how companies can use big data for humanitarian purposes. This connection between business and social change was the premise of an Inspiring Minds podcast titled “Building Bridges Instead of Silos: How Governments, Businesses and Nonprofits Have Learned to Work Together” in which Anderson interviewed Dr. Jonathan Doh, co-faculty director of the Moran Center for Global Leadership, about the power of cross-sector partnerships. “It’s a good example of where I want to be one day,” Anderson shared.
Anderson travels through Madagascar
Carrying Tomorrow After fulfilling the requirements for her double major, Anderson spent part of her senior year participating in the Social Justice Documentary class, which traveled Ethiopia to film a documentary called “Carrying Tomorrow” about the risks for expectant mothers who lack access to safe surgical practices.

MCGL Welcomes New Program Administrator
Cruse International Fellowship Awarded
The Moran Center welcomed Gloria Angel in the new program administrator role in early November.
Former MCGL Advisory Council member Ron Cruse ’77 CLAS continues to generously support international fellowships in memory of Sergey Kuzminykh, a close colleague and friend. This program awards fellowships annually for undergraduate student involvement in nontraditional global study and experience.
She has been an international educator for nearly two decades and started her career at Temple University with International Student and Scholar Services. Using her language skills, she assisted international students with I-20 visa applications and requirements. She was promoted to an international recruiter for the MBA/MS programs and concentrated on students from Central and South America. She addressed student inquiries while vetting English language skills to identify successful applicants. She traveled with the Global MBA team and recruited students from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Mexico. Angel’s next role was as assistant director of Temple CIBER (Center for International Business Education and Research), housed in the Institute of Global Management Studies, where she worked with MCGL Director Kim Cahill for six years. CIBER specialized in supporting and promoting international business education, research and outreach on campus, in the city and throughout the region. During her tenure, she developed a social media platform and marketing initiatives that increased the number of business students participating in study abroad significantly. She served as the academic advisor for the International Business program and advised the student-led International Business Association, helping with outreach, programming and events. Angel became a certified US Passport Acceptance agent and created a biannual Passport Night that raised over $10,000 to fund qualifying students to support their study abroad experiences. She also created a blog initiative where students would actively post on their experience abroad, which became a powerful marketing tool. More recently, Angel served as a consultant for the State of Delaware’s Division of Corporate and International Development, helping them revise and update the STEP (State Trade Expansion Program) grant application that was successfully funded. She has worked with re-entering citizens in resume workshops for the Philadelphia Works initiative and has supported youth groups including the Pennsylvania Ballet summer camp and worked as a bilingual classroom assistant at the Honorable Luis Muñoz Marin Elementary School. Angel leads an English conversation course weekly at the Free Library of Philadelphia and has conducted translation and interpretation services in Spanish for the City of Philadelphia. Angel earned certification from the International Educators Academy at Temple University and as an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor from the Adult Education Academy with the City of Philadelphia. She has a BBA in International Business and Marketing with a minor in Romance Languages from Temple University.

Mary Kate with her colleagues in Jordan
Mary Kate Smith ’19 CLAS Smith spent the summer at the Sijal Institute for Arabic Language and Culture, based in Amman, Jordan. This rigorous language immersion is instructed via traditional language pedagogy, as well as cultural courses taught in Arabic, such as “The Syrian Crisis: Its Formation, Current Status and What Lies Ahead” and “Palestine and the Palestinians: A Survey of Modern Palestinian History and Voices.” Smith complemented her studies with an internship with Banaat Connect, a Jordan-based, USAID-funded project that connects female Palestinian refugees learning English with female American students learning Arabic. The organization employs language learning to foster relationships amongst women seeking to participate in a global female-empowered society.
“
The intensive nature of the courses, coupled with an Arabic-only speaking environment, meant that my acquisition of the language was unparalleled. It was my three months in Jordan, not the two years of traditional classroom studies, that left me feeling confident in my ability to express myself in Arabic. My summer in Jordan provided me with the tools necessary to pursue a career in nonprofit work in the name of advancing the lives of people living in the Middle East.”

Rammrath ’57 VSB has provided $350,000 in scholarship funding for more than 200 students, including 36 international scholars from nine countries and students studying abroad in 25 countries.

His humility and kindness are an inspiration to me, as they are to all the student’s lives’ he continues to transform.” Once a year, Rammrath travels to campus to attend the endowed scholarship dinner and to personally meet with the students and engage them in conversation about their international experiences. The students are always eager to discuss their impactful international experiences and to thank their donor in person.
“
illanova helped me have a fruitful life. Now, I am simply V giving back some of the benefits I received from my time at Villanova.” – Herbert G. Rammrath
Center Co-Faculty Director Jonathan Doh, who holds the Rammrath Endowed Chair in International Business, remarked, “Herb Rammrath has been a steadfast and unwavering supporter of global business education at Villanova. His early investments in our programs—at a time when we had few other resources—were instrumental in their development. His commitment to supporting our students’ global exposure, and sharing his own impressive international experience, has allowed us to sustain and grow our international programming, attract other sources of support, and place us on a path to a very bright future.”
This year the Rammrath Fund enabled the following:
$40,000 In scholarships were awarded to 22 students
5 International students from Vietnam received funding for the academic year
13 Undergraduate students studied in four different countries
