LEADING TOGETHER

All Global Leadership Program members will be placed on Service Learning Action Teams. These teams will consist of six to seven domestic and international students and a specially trained university mentor. GLP mentors will join their students in the Leadership Forum while planning and coordinating their team's Service Learning project. This project will extend the MSU classroom into the community and allow students to learn about themselves, each other, and what it means to be good global citizens. When students from around the globe lead together, hand-in-hand, the enormity of the challenges faced by our global community is simplified to addressing local needs with local actions. Collectively, this allows us to change the world one person, one community at a time.
