A number of senior global business leadership majors at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University are getting the chance to cooperate with undergraduate peers at Ulster University in Belfast when it comes to helping develop business strategies for companies based in Minnesota or Northern Ireland.
As part of the global business leadership capstone course – Advanced Global Strategy, taught by Margrette Newhouse (CSB ’88), the John and Elizabeth Myers Chair in Management at CSB/SJU, 20 seniors are collaborating with 21 students in a course at Ulster taught by Dr. Andrea Reid.
“With the COVID pivot (at CSB/SJU) to having courses designed in a compressed, four-week block model, while also knowing that for many seniors their spring 2020 semester abroad had come to an abrupt halt, creativity has been key for faculty to provide for opportunities for experiential learning in a global context,” Newhouse said.
