During the Global Spartan Leadership Program (GSLP) international undergraduate participants will receive training on global leadership, attend cultural events, join service learning projects and receive an $8000 scholarship upon successful completion of the program requirements.
GSLP promotes leadership development that is inclusive, purposeful, collaborative, and values-based.
At this time, we have decided to put the Global Spartan Leadership Program on hold for the 2022-2023 school year.
Should you have any additional questions and/or concerns regarding GSLP, please contact Krista McCallum Beatty by email at or call 517-353-1720.
Intercultural LeadershipGSLP is designed to help international undergraduate students think broadly about diversity and will prepare participants to lead in a global world.
GSLP offers participants the opportunity to build their global leadership skills and understand the responsibilities of global citizenship.
“GSLP has taught me not only the technical best practices and methods to become a great leader but…it has taught me how to be more human...Everyone should take a class like this at least once just to learn to be more inclusive and more accepting of others.”
“I learned how important it is for everyone to gain interpersonal and intercultural relationships in order to be a better world citizen. I learned that anyone can become a leader, and that the important part is who you choose to be and how you want to make an impact on others.”
“I learned about the practices of an exemplary leader, how to know myself, how to have my own beliefs and to be consistent with them, to inspire others and how to do so, to challenge the process and lead others towards positive change, to encourage and enable others…by being open to their ideas and appreciating their efforts.”
Program participants will attend a mandatory non-credit weekly seminar in the fall and spring semesters. This seminar will focus on the following:
Students will be expected to complete assignments outside the seminar to enhance their intercultural competencies and leadership skills.
Participants will also be assigned opportunities to share their cultures and perspectives as international students through presentations, panel discussions and focus groups on campus and in the community.
Global Spartan Leaders are selected each spring for the following academic year. For questions or more information, please contact Nicole Namy, or 517-353-1720.
