Note from the Director

Deirdre Mendez Headshot Designing programs to enhance our students global acumen and forge relationships with global alumni and employers is an exciting and rewarding project. And recent events have only underscored the importance of our programs.

New models of international business engagement and operation are emerging as multinational corporations adapt to changing global conditions. And no one is immune to world events—local companies and individuals who work domestically are affected as well. The Center for Global Business offers our students the skills and knowledge business leaders need to navigate today’s evolving environment, wherever they choose to live and work. Stay tuned for news of new international opportunities, events, and accomplishments!
