Beyond the Expected.
From the New York Stock Exchange and United Nations to exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences, participants explore the worlds of business, leadership, and global affairs through firsthand discovery.
Week One: Build the Foundation
The opening week focuses on building connections, exploring leadership principles, and encouraging participants to recognize their individual strengths. Through shared experiences and group dialogue, students begin developing new perspectives on leadership and their potential to make an impact.
Week Two: Put Perspective Into Practice
Building on the first week's experiences, participants continue exploring leadership through collaboration, real-world encounters, and opportunities to apply what they've learned. The journey encourages students to think independently, engage confidently, and consider how they can carry these perspectives forward.
