In the spirit of Michigan State University's "world-grant" initiative, MSU's International Business Center in the Eli Broad College of Business is implementing Pro Bono Services for businesses in the Greater Lansing Region (Michigan, USA) which are striving to engage in the global marketplace. The Michigan Export Growth Program was started with a seed grant from the Ford College Community Challenge, which funds projects that meet community leads, create student leaders while building sustainable communities and fostering community partnerships.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together faculty and staff who have dealt with these challenges at a variety of schools, to share their experiences and disseminate STSA ideas and best practices and to think about the lasting impressions generated by STSA programs. Whether you are an experienced STSA practitioner or just contemplating the challenges of implementing a short-term program, we hope you will find the agenda compelling. We are confident that the presentations, panels, and networking opportunities with experienced practitioners will leave you with a better understanding of your role in planning, administering, directing, and/or facilitating short-term study abroad programs.
