Studying abroad has given me an experience unlike any that I would have had if I had stayed in my home country of the United States. It challenged my personal perspectives and required that I be adaptable to changing circumstances and environments. It opened my mind to new ways of doing things and collaborating with others in both a social and a professional/ educational setting. This minor pushed me out of my comfort zone, which creates minor internal conflict, but without conflict you cannot have growth.

GLM Program
The Global Leadership & Team Decision Making Minor is: - a collaboration between the Shelton Leadership Center and the NC State European Center in Prague, Czech Republic - a 15-hour minor that is designed for students who seek to gain greater knowledge and understanding of leadership and team decision-making from a European global perspective - composed of courses grounded in theory, inquiry, and application - made up of a cohort of 16 students for a semester abroad in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany A primary goal of the minor is to educate the student to be knowledgeable as a cross-disciplinary global-minded leader within whatever professional field he/she seeks beyond graduation. The student should develop an ability to see his or her own leadership competencies within the context of their academic field, and then in relation to working across disciplines and cultures. The minor is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of how to work more collaboratively, creatively, and effectively with people from disciplines outside of their origination, and more importantly from other cultures. |
