MESSAGE FROM
The Directors THIS PAST YEAR was unprecedented in many ways. The allencompassing impacts of the pandemic disrupted nearly every aspect of contemporary life, causing tragic and heartbreaking impacts on individuals, families and societies, while also generating profound social and economic disruptions in the US and around the world. As we write this message, the US has achieved progress in vaccination across geographic regions and demographic groups, with some pockets still lagging overall achievements. At the same time, the pandemic is still raging in large parts of the world, especially in developing and emerging countries that lack the infrastructure and resources to combat it, reminding us of our role and responsibilities as global citizens to maintain solidarity with all those struggling, whether at home or abroad. While not nearly as profound, the political environment and transition in the US also presented challenges and tested aspects of our governance and democratic system. The pandemic resulted in cancellation of nearly all study abroad programs at most universities, including Villanova University. Students that planned to spend summer or fall of 2020 studying in another country were forced to suspend their plans. This suspension extended through spring and summer of 2021 and will likely continue to have an impact in the future. This lengthy period during which students, faculty and staff were effectively grounded meant that some programs and majors—including the International Business co-major, the Global Leadership Fellows Program and several MBA course requirements—had to be temporarily restructured or redesigned. These changes underscored another theme of this past year—resilience. Villanova University, along with its key constituents—faculty, staff and most importantly students— were forced to quickly adapt and adjust to the “new normal” and did so with tremendous resolve and dedication. Another constituency severely affected by the pandemic and the travel restrictions is our international student population. Many were unable to return to their home countries while others were not able to secure a visa in time to travel to the US to take classes in fall of 2020. We are fortunate to have Gloria Angel on board as she has taken on additional responsibility for supporting our international students in this challenging time. We are hopeful that fall of 2021 will bring greater certainty for this important part of our community.

With support from MCGL, Villanova School of Business quickly pivoted to offer a series of virtual global initiatives. We implemented semester-long global virtual consulting projects in both undergraduate and graduate courses and secured scholarship funding for a virtual summer global internship program in conjunction with CIS Abroad. Other virtual initiatives included a highly successful Zoom version of our annual Globalization Panels for Business Dynamics students, our online Advisory Council meetings, and several other programs and initiatives in conjunction with our outreach partners. As always, we are grateful for the support of Dean Russell, our Advisory Council members, alumni, parents, partners and, of course, our students. villanova.edu/MCGL | 3

Global Programs GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FELLOWS
CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENTS MCGL is honored to recognize two outstanding students that graduated with the Global Leadership Fellows (GLF) distinction: Emily Cimaszewski ’21 VSB and Ben Jaeger ’21 VSB. Jaeger received the Bartley Medallion for International Business—the highest distinction VSB can bestow—in recognition of outstanding achievement. Cimaszewski participated in three different experiences abroad and completed four internships in Singapore, the UAE and the US.
BEN JAEGER ’21 VSB The GLF program has enabled me to deepen my understanding of the global business landscape and has motivated me to pursue international opportunities and connections that I would not have had access to otherwise. From Villanova to Singapore, UAE and Peru, MCGL has given me extraordinary experiences that take my Finance and International Business degree to the next level.”

EACH OF THE GLF GRADUATES has benefited from a mentor relationship with an MCGL Advisory Council member. They have all completed the requirements for an International Business co-major and functional major, studied abroad twice, and completed at least one international internship. In addition to IB, Cimaszewski completed a major in Finance with a minor in Business Law while Jaeger co-majored in Economics. Collectively, they have studied and interned across five countries including Argentina, Chile, Peru, Singapore and the UAE, all while earning an average GPA of 3.8. In addition to leading in the classroom, our GLF graduates participated in numerous leadership and service initiatives; served as the president of three different student professional organizations; and volunteered for the Special Olympics, TECHO Peru and MEDLIFE International. Post-graduation, Cimaszewski has accepted a position in New York City with Barclays as an investment banking analyst and Jaeger will join Strategy& in Chicago as a consulting associate.

Having the opportunity to be a part of GLF and the global community at Villanova challenged me to expand my cultural understanding. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to meet people from Villanova, Argentina and Singapore who helped me to expand my outlook on the world. The ability to fine tune my college experience with a global outlook gives me an important skill to take to my career, but more importantly, helps me to be a more holistic and empathetic person among local and global communities.”

Global Programs GLOBAL BUSINESS CONCENTRATION GRADUATES RECOGNIZED
THE GLOBAL BUSINESS CONCENTRATION (GBC)
program was launched last year, and six seniors eagerly accepted the challenge, completing all remaining requirements to become our inaugural GBC graduates: Alessandra Caparso ’21 CLAS, Maxwell Carver ’21 CLAS, Katherine Farrell ’21 CLAS, Rachel Jennings ’21 CLAS, Melissa McGloin ’21 CLAS and Sarah Racanelli ’21 CLAS. The GBC program encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and leverages VSB’s extensive global resources to the benefit of IB co-majors and students from other schools across the University interested in a global business credential. Previously, students outside of VSB did not have access to business classes unless they were pursuing a business minor. Collectively, GBC graduates achieved an average GPA of 3.6 with majors in Economics, Political Science, Philosophy and Honors. In addition to the concentration, they have also completed minors in Asian Studies, Business, Communications, Economics, Irish Studies, Spanish Language and Literature,

and Sustainability Studies. Their study abroad destinations included Australia, China, Ireland, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, Peru, Spain and the UK. The GBC graduates also held numerous leadership positions on campus and participated in service activities including the Special Olympics. Two graduates are entrepreneurs that run their own businesses and one volunteered with two different presidential campaigns. Three of the GBC students will be starting their professional careers at HubSpot, Morgan Stanley and Sompo International. The others will be attending graduate school in the UK and Ireland.
ALESSANDRA CAPARSO ’21 CLAS The GBC provided me the opportunity to contextualize my own global experiences in a business environment. The focus on global trends, issues and behaviors helped me to prepare for the international roles I plan to seek out. I am so grateful for this program and the Moran Center for Global Leadership.
MAXWELL CARVER ’21 CLAS MCGL provided me with a sense of practicality for my international experiences. I spent the majority of my undergraduate degree abroad, and the Global Business Concentration gave me an understanding of how I can capitalize on my intercultural skills. The Moran Center also afforded me the financial ability to continue my international experience with the Freeman Foundation Scholarship.
KATHERINE FARRELL ’21 CLAS The GBC gave me access to business classes I normally would not have been permitted to take as a Liberal Arts student—specifically Global Sustainability Management with Jonathan Doh, PhD. This course helped me understand sustainability on an international business level and has shaped my future career aspirations focusing on international business sustainability. Thanks to the Moran Center for Global Leadership for creating the GBC!
RACHEL JENNINGS ’21 CLAS Participating in GBC broadened my horizons and opened my eyes to other future careers because of the classes, the professors and the guest speakers we were exposed to in the international business classes. This experience further enhanced my desire to work for an international firm while simultaneously teaching me the key concepts of conducting business globally and operating in foreign markets.
MELISSA MCGLOIN ’21 CLAS MCGL strengthened my interest in foreign relations, which has significantly shaped my academic objectives and professional goals. Not only have I learned how politics and economics interact and operate on an international scale, but I have also developed into an effective cross-cultural communicator. These are extremely valuable skills and I look forward to applying what I have learned from my GBC courses to my future endeavors!
SARAH RACANELLI ’21 CLAS I feel extremely lucky to have been part of the first group of students to embark on the Global Business Concentration at Villanova. The GBC allowed me to take classes within VSB and with business students that I otherwise would not have had access to and expanded my course load, curriculum and worldview.
RAMMRATH FUND SUPPORTS INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS HERBERT G. RAMMRATH ENDOWED FUND for Global
Initiatives and International Scholarships was developed in 2008 to provide financial resources to support global programs and underwrite student scholarships for business students. While COVID-19 eliminated all study abroad opportunities last year, scholarships were awarded to international students attending VSB. MCGL Tiffany Nguyen ’21 VSB oversees and administers this fund and is grateful for Mr. Rammrath’s generous philanthropy. Two international students from China and Vietnam received scholarship funding for the academic year. In a note to Mr. Rammrath, Zhouxan Anthony Li ’21 VSB from Wuhan, China, shared, “COVID-19 had a devastating impact on the family retail business that exhausted all personal savings. The scholarship was a saving grace for our family and strengthened our commitment to do whatever it took to continue my journey at Villanova, despite the pandemic and many financial challenges.” Hailing from Vietnam, Uyen Tiffany Nguyen ’21 VSB stated, “I am so grateful for Mr. Rammrath’s support that has helped ease my family’s financial burden. His scholarship has assisted me throughout my college experience and not only allowed me to study abroad in London during my freshman year but to explore different professional opportunities during the difficulties presented by COVID.” Nguyen will spend the summer interning with a nonprofit to provide consulting services for earlystage startups in Africa. In the fall, she will be working as a technology consultant at EY. Once a year, Mr. 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 these transformative experiences and appreciate the opportunity to thank their donor personally.

REIMAGINING
GLOBAL EXPERIENCES IN THE FACE OF THE PANDEMIC IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC and the
cancellation of study abroad programs, MCGL Co-faculty Directors Jonathan Doh, PhD, and Michelle Casario, PhD, developed alternative international experiences with integrative virtual global consulting projects for VSB graduate and undergraduate students. The success of these courses has led to replication of the model in other sections of the curriculum, with plans to provide students with similar experiences post-pandemic. The COVID experience provided both an opportunity to rethink and redesign the international elements of these courses and to extend the virtual global experience to classes and students that did not typically travel. Dr. Doh, who serves as course coordinator for the MBA Global Practicum, proposed the fall 2020 pilot to integrate a virtual global consulting project into the class as a way to provide students with international exposure when travel was not possible. A partnership with Austral Education Group for the fall 2020 Online MBA paired student groups with Totto—a Bogotá, Colombia-based designer, manufacturer and marketer of backpacks, travel bags, clothing and accessories— Hong Kong Harbor View
to provide advice and recommendations on how to sustain business in light of the profound impacts of the pandemic. The project was deemed a success by both Totto and the student participants. Based on this experience, all six spring 2021 sections of the MBA Global Practicum were matched with a virtual international consulting project, and the model was also extended to the EMBA International Immersion course. Projects included: • PROCHILE—Chile’s official export promotion agency seeking to help Chilean companies access global ecommerce platforms.
• MARTEC—A Costa Rica-based marine fish processing and mariculture company seeking to move into the frozen fish export market.
• TECNOM ARGENTINA—A technology platform for car and other transport dealerships seeking to expand abroad. • MEDITAR ARGENTINA—A health care management company seeking to expand abroad. • PROJECT CINIA MÉXICO—A social enterprise producing textiles and apparel that employs individuals with sensory and/or motor disabilities, seeking to expand abroad. Dr. Casario, who serves as the faculty program coordinator for the Maymester Australia program, developed a special section of the required undergraduate Global Political Economy course focused on the Asia-Pacific region. Several students scheduled to travel to Australia in May of 2020, along with students looking to fulfill the study abroad requirement for the International Business co-major, were amongst those enrolled in the class. The course

combined academic coursework with a virtual global consulting project, where students worked with companies across multiple industries in four countries in the region. Coordinating with Global Academic Ventures to source the projects, students were provided the opportunity to work closely with host company supervisor teams for seven weeks during the second half of the semester. Projects included: • SONY FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA—The charitable arm of the Sony group of companies developing a grant research and acquisition strategy for Australia. • KBR ASSETS, AUSTRALIA—A global provider of differentiated professional services seeking to develop advisory and asset solutions in the infrastructure services arena.
• BLACKMORES, AUSTRALIA—A leading natural health company seeking to develop stakeholder strategies across Asia. • DELTA PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL, HONG KONG—A provider of training and consultancy services in Hong Kong and Singapore seeking to expand services. • HILL AND ASSOCIATES, THAILAND—A risk consultancy firm seeking to develop mitigation strategies and solutions for businesses across Asia.
• LEADBOOK, SINGAPORE—A marketing tech platform for lead generation seeking to develop channel and content strategies for market expansion. • KBR APAC, AUSTRALIA—A global provider of differentiated professional services seeking to identify migration pathways to transition from legacy platforms to cloud solutions. MCGL Director Kim Cahill partnered with CIS Abroad to provide summer 2021 virtual global internships for undergraduates, securing scholarship funding for five students seeking to fulfill international education requirements. Students interned with organizations in New Zealand, South Africa and Spain while earning a micro-credential in Working Remotely Across Cultures. Remote work is not the future of global business, it is the present. With a virtual global internship or practicum, students work on projects for an international organization from their home base while adding a global perspective to their professional work experience. They apply their in-class knowledge to real-world meaningful work, gain hands-on experience, expand their skill base, and learn what it is like to work remotely across time zones and cultures. Going forward, this expanded portfolio of international opportunities will allow us to serve even more students as they prepare for careers in a global marketplace. villanova.edu/MCGL | 9
AROUND THE WORLD
Global Programs COMMITTEE PROMOTES INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT ALTHOUGH ALUMNI LIVING AND WORKING ABROAD might represent a smaller proportion of our graduates, the capacity of this constituency is often underestimated. These graduates can serve as institutional ambassadors on the global landscape and add visibility to the University’s international efforts. Alumni overseas can help shape and enhance Villanova’s global brand. Engaging with them furthers Villanova’s internationalization strategies. Whether contributing to international admissions and recruiting efforts, developing global institutional-industry partnerships, building alumni networks, or entering new markets, international alumni are an invaluable resource. Fostering an international community of common interests and mutual support is good for everyone. A global network provides current students with mentors to help them learn about
international career opportunities. Alumni wishing to expand their business internationally, seeking a global business partner, or relocating abroad want to rely on a trusted network. Knowledgeable alumni volunteers abroad leverage their own experiences to generate interest from prospective students, boosting international student mobility, recruitment and success. MCGL Director Kim Cahill noted, “Our alumni living and working abroad have contributed to the success of students and alumni in the global marketplace by tapping into their international networks. They are a wonderful resource for local expertise and the MCGL team has made it a practice to connect with alumni as we travel internationally because it always enriches the experience. Villanovans abroad are incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to welcome any members of the
Villanova community traveling to their part of the world.” Cahill spearheaded a Universitywide effort to capitalize on existing faculty and staff travel as an opportunity to engage Villanova alumni living and working abroad. The objective of the International Alumni Engagement Committee (IAEC) is to serve as a partnership to share best practices of engagement and international travel information from interested faculty and staff. Rooted in our Augustinian Catholic principles, increased engagement with our alumni abroad directly supports building an ever more connected, values-driven community that is more diverse, equitable and inclusive. Restless in our desire to ignite change, increased engagement with our international alumni supports Villanovans around the world on a path of lifelong success.
Together, let us become what we are not yet. — St. Augustine Cahill is chairing the IAEC and recruited colleagues from across campus to serve as champions for this initiative, including: Michelle Barton, assistant director, Office of Education Abroad Beth Cahill, associate director, Industry Advising, Career Center Mary Cunningham, executive director, Prospect Development; Catherine Curley, PhD, RN, acting director,

And Recognition CHIARELLO RECEIVES
ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICE RECOGNITION ANTHONY CHIARELLO ’77 CLAS was recognized at the VSB Stakeholder Summit on April 23 as the recipient of the 2021 Above and Beyond Service Recognition for his role with the Moran Center for Global Leadership (MCGL) Advisory Council. Recipients of this recognition demonstrate exceptional service and contributions to the college through student mentoring, institutional support, and, in sharing their time, resources and expertise. Center Director Kim Cahill added, “Anthony is one of kindest people I have ever met. He is one of our longest-standing MCGL Advisory Council members and is incredibly generous with his time, knowledge and global network. In addition to mentoring students, he has served as a guest lecturer in the classroom and a recurring panelist on globalization, and leveraged his personal network to secure a fascinating site visit at the Port of Cartagena in Colombia on an MCGL Professional Development in IB immersion. This recognition is just one small way to acknowledge his extraordinary commitment.” Chiarello joined the MCGL Advisory Council in 2011. He is a fourth-generation maritime executive who retired as CEO of TOTE Maritime in 2018 to establish Lighthouse Maritime Advisors, a maritime and logistics advisory practice. During his more than 40-year career, he was both honored and fortunate to hold a number of executive leadership roles for multinational transportation organizations including Maersk Line of Denmark, NYK Line of Tokyo and Prologis. Chiarello currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the Seafarers International Union pension and benefits fund and has previously negotiated successful outcomes in numerous management/labor relations matters. He is a graduate of Villanova University and has remained involved in education, having served on the Board of Visitors of the D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University and currently on The College of New Jersey MBA Advisory Board.

He is incredibly supportive and I truly appreciate his mentorship throughout my career.” Olivia Bily ’23 VSB added, “Mr. Chiarello has been an excellent mentor through his encouraging words and actions. It is without a doubt that his global network and guidance assisted me in securing a competitive summer internship at SeaWide Express.” Upon receiving the Above and Beyond Service Recognition, Chiarello remarked, “Being one of three (so far) Chiarello family graduates of Villanova dating back to 1935, I never expected to be provided an opportunity to give back in such a meaningful way as I have as a member of the Moran Center for Global Leadership Advisory Council. I will be forever grateful to Dean [Joyce] Russell, Jonathan [Doh], Michelle [Casario], Steve [DeRose] and Kim [Cahill] for providing me with this opportunity. While so many others deserve this humbling recognition, I will be forever grateful in receiving this honor. Thank you!”

GLOBAL OUTREACH PARTNERS
EXPAND IMPACT Like most organizations, MCGL’s global outreach colleagues transitioned to virtual programming at the onset of the pandemic. Partnerships with the Global Interdependence Center (GIC), the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, the Consular Corp Association of Philadelphia (CCAP) and the Global Philadelphia Association allowed MCGL to continually broaden its reach and global impact to the benefit of all stakeholders. Collectively, our outreach partners organized nearly 200 virtual programs on wide-ranging global topics that were accessible to a much wider audience, reaching more than 10,000 participants across the country and around the world. “Webinar events at the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia allowed us to expand our reach from the Greater Philadelphia
region to audience members across the country. The Council remains grateful for its longtime partnership with the Moran Center for Global Leadership, which continues to make our programming possible—and in some ways, more impactful than ever—even in this most challenging year,” added Margaret Hasani, vice president of Development and Membership, World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. Jill Fornito, executive director, Global Interdependence Center, said, “Our partnership with the Moran Center for Global Leadership enhanced the breadth and depth of our virtual conference stage, as we have reached over 4,100 audience members and counting. We hope that GIC continues to serve as a valuable resource for the Villanova University community.”
“The Global Philadelphia Association is delighted to partner with the Moran Center for Global Leadership in positioning our region as a globally significant place to live, work and study. Our unique global lens as a World Heritage City enables us to provide connections and focus thereby on engendering wonderful opportunities for partnership and collaboration. We are grateful to be engaged in meaningful global positioning,” added Zabeth Teelucksingh, executive director, Global Philadelphia Association. Additionally, Cahill’s service on the Mid-Atlantic District Export Council and participation in U.S. Commercial Service and World Trade Center programs and initiatives gives MCGL access to resources and companies exporting in our region.

IN THE CLASSROOM AND
Extracurricular Initiatives
International Business Society Student Leaders Recognized 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. MCGL staff Kim Cahill, Michelle Casario and Gloria Angel serve as the advisors for IBS. In fall 2020, the virtual environment provided a new opportunity for IBS to do a week-long Instagram takeover of the Villanova School of Business account during Majors Month, promoting the International Business co-major with daily posts. The topics varied from the unveiling of the new IBS logo, board introductions and study abroad opportunities to requirements for the IB co-major and the extensive resources at the Moran Center for Global Leadership in support of international business education. The current executive board includes two Global Leadership Fellows (GLF) as well as a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences student pursuing MCGL’s Global Business Concentration (GBC), the first non-business student to serve in an officer position.

Center Enhances International Student Engagement DURING THE FALL OF 2020, the International Student Professional Development (ISPD) Committee tried different formats to connect with international students as many attended classes virtually from their home countries. By meeting students where they were, the goal was to help them still feel part of the campus. A large number of international students deferred their admission to spring or fall 2021 due to difficulties in obtaining a visa for entry. Many others enrolled in courses that were offered online, despite having to take classes in the middle of the night. The virtual “Career Journeys of International Students” event featured international student alumni discussing their career choices and responding to questions from the audience. The six alumni graduated from the College of Engineering, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Villanova School of Business. They logged in from New York City; Camden; Villanova; Atlanta; Los Angeles; and Panama City, Panama. It was an interactive session with close to 40 attendees. The Villanova International Graduate Student Ambassadors hosted a “Virtual International Potluck.” International students were invited to cook their favorite dish and join a Zoom hangout for a show and tell about how to prepare their meal and explain the cultural significance. During spring 2021, ISPD teamed up with Interstride, an interactive career platform, for a webinar titled “Job Search Tips for International Students” hosted by Christina Butler, assistant director, Career Development. Through Villanova’s Interstride subscription, students now have free access to the platform and a trusted resource through which they can research companies that sponsor international employees. ISPD also launched a new newsletter, the International Inbox: Wildcat Edition, informing students of the different opportunities available for professional development and networking events. MCGL Program Administrator Gloria Angel is an active member of the ISPD Committee, created in the fall of 2018 to develop resources and increase engagement with the international student population on campus. The committee is chaired by Butler and consists of other dedicated colleagues across campus who design events specifically for international students, including: Brenda Stover, assistant dean, VSB O’Donnell Center for Professional Development; Kaitlin Grady, associate director, VSB Experiential Education and Employer Outreach; Melanie Menkevich, CLAS global programs specialist; Fatima Rezaei, assistant director, CLAS Graduate Admissions; Kathryn Szumanski, director, Professional Development; Sofia Bermudez, assistant director, Professional Development; and Betty Patch, visiting instructor, CLAS Augustine and Culture Seminar. Angel commented, “I am so proud to be part of this committee and of the work we have done supporting this community, especially during such a challenging and turbulent time for our international students.”

IN THE COMMUNITY:
Outreach and Service
Advocates for International Studentss AFTER 50 YEARS OF GROWTH, international student enrollment declined in the US for the first time in 2017 and plummeted by 43% last fall. One in five international students studied online last year and nearly 40,000 deferred enrollment to a later term. The need for additional resources for this population has never been more critical. Pennsylvania ranks fifth in the nation for international student enrollment, supporting nearly 25,000 jobs in the commonwealth and contributing two billion dollars to the state’s annual economy. StudyPA is a nonprofit, memberdriven organization of higher education institutions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The U.S. International Education Study State Consortia initiative is led by the U.S. Commercial Service to support the internationalization initiatives of member institutions and to connect international students and scholars with quality programs and universities in Pennsylvania. StudyPA members work collaboratively to promote Pennsylvania and to facilitate partnerships with international colleges and universities, agents, and vendors. Members include accredited community colleges and universities.
Membership has grown from the four founding universities to over 20 institutions, including several new sponsors that funded development of the website and marketing materials. Interactive monthly meetings with experts covered the following topics: recruiting best practices; the U.S. Commercial Service’s regionspecific virtual connections; sustainable partnership models; the challenges COVID presented with international partners; agentbased recruiting; cooperative recruitment initiatives; a meeting with Philadelphia Border Patrol to understand new restrictions and paperwork required for international students’ entry; and roundtable discussions with other state consortia (StudyNY and StudyNJ) for a best-practices advising session. Pennsylvania is the 35th state to establish a consortium since states started organizing in 1966. This effort aims to strengthen the partnership between US higher education and the economic development interests of the respective state and nation. The goal is to use education assets across the United States to enhance national, regional and local competitiveness and economic growth.
StudyPA was established in 2019 and implemented membership dues in 2020 to finance its mission. 16 | Moran Center for Global Leadership Annual Review 2020-2021

VSB Global Programs Committee Pushes Forward MCGL DIRECTOR KIM CAHILL AND CO-FACULTY DIRECTOR MICHELLE CASARIO, PHD, chaired the VSB Global Programs Committee made up of faculty from each academic department and staff members from MCGL, the Office of Education Abroad, the Clay Center and Graduate Business. The original objectives of the committee included exploring ways to increase the overall percentage of VSB students who study abroad, expanding the involvement of VSB faculty and staff in international experiences, and evaluation and oversight of existing global programs and new global program reviews. Due to the pandemic, the focus of the committee shifted to developing contingencies for global education and alternatives to study abroad for IB co-majors and other affected VSB students that needed to fulfill international experience requirements. In response to the new objectives, MCGL created several alternative international experiences, including virtual global consulting projects in the MBA Global Practicum, a Special Topics section of Global Political Economy, and a
Global Virtual Internship program with CIS Abroad. MCGL also contributed to Villanova’s return to travel framework and assisted in developing an international travel policy, which included benchmarking with BisNet and CUIBE member schools. In anticipation of a return to travel, MCGL worked with the Office of Education Abroad to refine and enhance the process for faculty and staff to submit new program proposals for consideration by the committee. The revised call for proposals aligns with the Universitywide processes and procedures and ensures robust programming in the development of new international education programs. GPC will continue providing oversight of VSB global programs, evaluating established curricula and program partners, and reviewing new global initiatives. Given the ongoing travel challenges, the work of the GPC will continue to be a critical component in restoring the portfolio of international education experiences for our students.
Center Director Delivers Cultural Competence Workshop MCGL DIRECTOR KIM CAHILL created a virtual workshop for VSB student leaders titled “Developing Cultural Competence.” The interactive workshop started with an exercise that required all participants to introduce themselves, share something personal that you would not know by just looking at them, and to then explain why it was important to reveal that particular characteristic about themselves. As Nelson Mandela said, “Appearances are but a glimpse of what is hidden.” The same is true of culture, and to develop cultural competence, you must first recognize that much of culture is innate and not easily observed.
Several LinkedIn Learning videos were integrated into the workshop, followed by a short quiz using the polling feature in Zoom to assess learning in real time. Participants were exposed to a variety of cultural concepts including theoretical frameworks, communicating across cultures, and developing a global mindset. More than 40 VSB student leaders attended the workshop and learned that the development of cultural competence will allow them to respectfully engage with people of all backgrounds. As part of the VSB Staff Lunch & Learn initiative, the workshop was also delivered to 20 staff members; 100% reported the topic is relevant
to their current role while 92% stated they learned new skills and knowledge in this area. “The ‘Building Cultural Competency’ workshop was an excellent addition to the Staff Lunch & Learn series orchestrated by the VSB Staff Advisory Council,” said Rita DiCarlo, associate director, Career and Professional Development. “Kim provided resources, terminology and a framework for participants to expand and cultivate cultural skills. She shared her enthusiasm and expertise to help expand our own self-awareness, develop cultural curiosity, and strive toward making VSB and Villanova University a more inclusive community.”

MCGL DIRECTOR KIM CAHILL was invited to develop an international business seminar for the Villanova Initiative Engaging Women (VIEW) summer 2020 program. VIEW’s mission is to prepare talented young women from the Philadelphia School District for college admission while also developing the skills necessary to succeed in higher education. VIEW students participate in a four-year program of intense academic achievement in English, Global Citizenship, STEM, and Visual Literacy. The program partners with VSB to provide exposure to careers in business and is enhanced with advanced computer and technology skills along with continuous exposure to cultural enrichment. Cahill recruited MCGL Program Administrator Gloria Angel to help develop and present a two-hour session titled “All Business is Global,” highlighting that international business encompasses all commercial activities that take place to promote the transfer of goods, services, resources, people, ideas and technologies across national boundaries. Students learned that much like the pizza toppings that vary greatly across cultures, the tastes and preferences of potential customers must also be taken into consideration in international business practices. Apple’s global supply chain was discussed, and students were surprised to learn that components for their iPhone came from at least five different countries. In addition to learning about international education opportunities at Villanova, students were exposed to a variety of global business career options and international business programming choices to help guide and prepare them for the global marketplace.
AMONG THE ACADEME:
MCGL WELCOMES
Global Faculty Research Fellow
Thought Leadership and Research
MCGL welcomed Maira Reimão, PhD, as its inaugural Global Research fellow beginning in fall 2021. This new role recognizes a VSB faculty member who will contribute thought leadership by undertaking global business research, delivering research seminars to our stakeholders, serving as a representative to internal and external constituencies, mentoring students interested in global issues, participating in panels and other activities, and attending the bi-annual MCGL Advisory Council meetings. The MCGL Global Research fellow is selected from among tenuretrack VSB faculty and is a three-year appointment.
DR. REIMÃO is a development economist who recently joined Villanova as an assistant professor in the Department of Economics teaching Introduction to Microeconomics and Development Economics. Her research focuses on gender, migration and labor in emerging economies. Research topics include the effect of temporary migration on beliefs and social norms; the relationship between temporary migration and urbanization; migration and those who stay behind; childcare and other policies aimed at increasing female labor force participation; and measurements of empowerment and agency. Dr. Reimão has projects in Bangladesh, Brazil and Guatemala, and has previously conducted research in Jamaica and Nicaragua. One of Dr. Reimão’s current studies focuses on the effect of access to childcare on household income and living conditions among impoverished families in Rio de Janeiro. Another considers the role that temporary domestic migration has on social norms within migrantsending villages in northern Bangladesh. Originally from Brazil, Dr. Reimão received her PhD from the University of California, Davis; an MPhil in Development Studies from Oxford University; and a BS in Foreign Service from George-
town University. As a PhD student, she served for five years as a consultant with the World Bank on social development, poverty reduction and economic management. After completing her PhD, she was a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University and later an assistant professor at the University of Florida where she taught courses on international humanitarian assistance. Dr. Reimão commented, “I am very grateful to the Moran Center for Global Leadership for my appointment as a Global Research fellow. I am inspired by MCGL’s commitment to fostering international engagement across University activities, supporting teaching, research, and outreach services. At Villanova, and with support from MCGL, I hope to model to students one of many ways in which one can pursue work that is rigorous at an intellectual level and contributes to efforts to address poverty and pursue justice globally.” Dr. Jonathan Doh, MCGL co-faculty director and associate dean of research and global initiatives, added, “We are so delighted that Dr. Reimão has joined VSB and will be contributing to MCGL. She brings a breadth of international experience and expertise, and we look forward to her partnership and collaboration.” villanova.edu/MCGL | 19

Election as an AOM fellow honors a select group of scholars who have made significant contributions to the science and practice of management and distinguished themselves at the top of their fields. “I am deeply humbled by this recognition from the most accomplished scholars in management,” Dr. Doh said. “It reflects well on the supportive culture of Villanova and the School of Business, where teacher-scholars are encouraged to excel in research, teaching and learning and in contributions to policy and practice.” In addition to serving as co-faculty director of MCGL and professor of Management and Operations, Dr. Doh also holds several other positions at VSB including associate dean of Research and Global Engagement and Rammrath Chair in International Business.

Smack Down SERIES EXAMINES CURRENT EVENTS
20 | Moran Center for Global Leadership Annual Review 2020-2021
Dr. Doh has published more than 85 refereed articles, 35 chapters, a dozen teaching cases and eight books. Many of his publications appear in elite or top-tier management, international business and ethics/social responsibility journals. He has presented more than 80 papers at international conferences, and served AOM, the Academy of International Business and the Strategic Management Society in numerous capacities. He has served as editor of several journals and is currently serving as general editor of Journal of Management Studies. Dr. Doh was ranked as the 12th most prolific international business scholar for the period 2001–2009 and he was elected a fellow of the Academy of International Business in 2015. “Dr. Doh brings tremendous prestige to Villanova and is the epitome of the Villanova teacher-scholar, where scholarship and teaching complement each other,” said Joyce E. A. Russell, PhD, the Helen and William O’Toole Dean of VSB. “We are honored to have such a celebrated faculty member, role model and leader within the School of Business.” “Dr. Doh richly deserves this honor, which is bestowed on less than one percent of the management scholars who belong to the Academy of Management,” said Donald Siegel, PhD, Foundation Professor of Public Policy and Management at Arizona State University and dean of fellows of the Academy of Management. “Jonathan was cited for his path-breaking research on international business, strategic management and corporate social responsibility. He is the quintessential intellectual boundary spanner. Jonathan joins an elite group of scholars who have made major contributions to the science and practice of management.”
THE GLOBAL SMACKDOWN (GSD) is a weekly 15-minute session that offers a concise, academic analysis of one current news event that happened outside the US during the previous week. GSD was started in 2012 by Professor Timothy Horner, DPhil, Center for Peace and Justice, to provide the University community with information and context on global events using trusted news sources for critical analysis. The material for the GSD—video, maps, articles, interviews—are drawn from the web and specialized podcasts. International news comes quickly and largely without context. GSD not only provides a dedicated space in which to focus attention on
Advisory Council Member BRINGS UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
MIKE JANUSZESKI, PHD, ’08 MBA has dedicated his life to improving health care. His career has been guided by that mission. While working as a nurse (he holds a nursing degree from St. Luke’s Nursing School) he worked his way through school, earning an undergraduate degree in biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. He went on to receive his PhD in biochemistry at Temple University School of Medicine and to conduct postdoctoral research in gene therapy at the University of Southern California. He eventually joined Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a division of Johnson & Johnson, and a superior suggested he obtain an MBA to bridge the research and development side of the business with the commercial. Now Dr. Januszeski, global director of Commercial Assessment in External Innovation, contributes his leadership to the team studying
treatments for COVID-19. While Janssen recently received approval for their vaccine, he believes the world needs options for those who may choose not to get vaccinated, for populations in whom vaccines may not be highly effective, and for those who may become infected due to delays in accessibility of vaccines. Thinking globally is a skill Dr. Januszeski initially acquired while in a Global Marketing Strategy class that included a two-week abroad program to Brazil as part of his Villanova MBA experience. “It’s important to get out of US conventional thinking,” he said. “I learned the importance of understanding customers and your business from a local perspective.” This experience led to his working and living in Paris and traveling extensively in a global strategy role for several years after completing his MBA degree at Villanova.
It is also the reason he recently joined the Moran Center for Global Leadership’s Advisory Council—to help promote the importance of health care globally. The Center is guided and counseled by dedicated alumni with extensive global business acumen serving as members of our Advisory Council. Collectively, their talent, global network and international business expertise span the globe. Dr. Januszeski believes Villanova has the right components to become a global leader in this area with its world-class nursing and business schools and a community dedicated to the service of others. He may not have cured the world of all its illnesses, but Dr. Januszeski remains an eternal optimist. He is excited to work with the council because it has given him another opportunity to help fulfill his mission of helping people live longer and giving more people access to health care.
“I saw a lot of sick people who had few options to recover from their illnesses,” he said of his first job as a critical care nurse at Hahnemann University Hospital. Although the majority of patients improved, for many diseases, effective treatments did not exist. “It was clear that new therapies were needed, so I was inspired to go back to school. I wanted to cure the world of everything.”— Mike Januszeski, PhD, ’08 MBA
what is happening in the world, it also provides critical tools needed to frame the significance of the event. This two-fold agenda—global awareness and critical news analysis—is central to the intention and practice of the GSD. GSD moved to a virtual platform during the pandemic and was able to reach a much larger audience via Zoom. Twenty-three topical podcasts covered Biden’s foreign policy, Belarus, UAE/Israel, Kenya, Lebanon, Rwanda, Iran, Nagorno-Karabakh, Nigeria, Sudan, France, Ethiopia, Russia, Israel, Northern Ireland,
Myanmar, Senegal, the Pope in Iraq, Al-Hol in Syria, and Yemen. Dr. Horner provides a written summary of the event, its context and its implications, along with the hyperlinks utilized, via listserv with more than 250 members. GSD is funded by the Moran Center for Global Leadership, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Center for Peace and Justice Education. villanova.edu/MCGL | 21
