GlobaLeadership Exchange

Educating Global Scholars for Global Leadership

“No one who studies abroad remains unchanged by the experience.  Part of the change that occurs is the widening of a person’s intellectual horizons and a dissolving of borders and boundaries.”

– Allan Goodman, President, Institute of International Education

Customized to each group of participants, the GlobaLeadership Exchange features a variety of experiences designed to help participants build their confidence as leaders and empower them to be change agents in their respective home communities.  It includes both intensive workshops and meetings with local leaders, site visits to civic and cultural sites, and dialogues with peer groups and organizations. We work with you and your organization to build a program specific to your group’s goals and needs.

The GlobaLeadership Exchange is based off the relationships and activities in Denver, Colorado, but can be implemented in any city by the IIE-Denver Staff.
