Started last year, the GIM program aims to instill global awareness, leadership, service, and professional development in graduate programs’ prospective and current students and recent graduates. This year the GIM will take place from July 16-26 in Shanghai, China, and consists of an internship and community service project in which participants will tutor migrant workers’ children for their middle school entrance exams. Available internship fields for participants include information technology, marketing, management, business development, finance, media/entertainment and entrepreneurship. All participants will also enroll in a basic Mandarin language course, as well as have the opportunity to immerse themselves in various cultural activities.
Interested parties can submit an application on the MBADiversity and GradPrep websites.
