Contemporary Global Issues

This course examines the nuances of leading in cross-cultural contexts and explores the opportunities and challenges of leading in diverse cultural environments through a travel experience. The international experience will create an opportunity to examine the intersection of state and religion, globalization, and effective leadership through the study of past and current global issues. The critical goal of the course is to prepare students to hone their cross-cultural leadership styles, become more effective as culturally attuned leaders, enhance awareness, and lead in complex contexts with people from various cultures.
