The Center for Global Leadership is dedicated to promoting cross-cultural awareness, ethical international business relationships, and responsible global leadership. We pursue these objectives through educational programs, research, and service and outreach activities.

The center is guided by a director and a number of faculty and staff associates, and overseen by an advisory council. The center retains a strong commitment to its predecessor—the Center for Responsible Leadership and Governance—through its commitment to ethical leadership and global corporate responsibility.

Our goals are to:

• develop and advance the international strategy of the Villanova School of Business;
• lead international business research and curricular initiatives across VSB and the university;
• provide resources and support for a range of program initiatives that advance the center’s mission; and
• publish the results of our findings so that the broader business community can benefit from our insights.
   

"My international service trips to poverty stricken areas in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico were truly life-changing. When I saw the dramatic difference that I could make, I was transformed. I knew that service would always be a part of my life from that moment forward."
