The Center for Global Leadership (CGL) promotes a range of activities and programs
to advance its mission.
Educational Programs
The center works to advance the integration of international business and global issues in the VSB curriculum by supporting faculty initiatives related to global business and leadership, supporting student participation in international business case competitions, providing support for faculty seeking to develop international business programs and courses, and sponsoring international executives and faculty to visit the university to share their insights with our students. In all of these activities, CGL stresses the ethical dimensions of global expansion and the importance of responsible leadership in international business.
