Meet Director Dr. Matthew LeRiche and learn a bit about what we do at the Global Leadership Center
Our Mission
The Global Leadership Center strives to develop internationally-minded, locally-engaged leaders in all walks of life.
Our Vision
The Global Leadership Center (GLC) offers a two-year undergraduate certificate that prepares students to become lifelong learners in order to serve as internationally-minded, skilled, attuned, professional and experienced leaders in all walks of life (commercial, governmental and nongovernmental, educational, etc.). The GLC certificate is not a degree-granting academic discipline but a curricular and co-curricular program which enhances other disciplines.
The program prepares students to think critically and creatively, communicate clearly and logically, be flexible and non-dogmatic, embrace ambiguity and complexity, and understand the world's challenging commercial, political, religious, and cultural issues.
In the Global Leadership Center, students work in teams comprised of both Ohio University and foreign-based international students on real-world projects, usually with real-world clients (both in the USA and abroad), in a community-based education experience.
Cambodia Trip
In May of 2017, the Global Leadership Center students took part in an amazing trip to Cambodia.
