Fifty-three students from 26 countries form a Global Village
Fifty-three students from 26
nations are learning from
each other and from 80
executives and international
scholars in a "Global Village
for Future Leaders in Business &
Industry" at Lehigh.
"Everybody has something new
to share," said Global Village
participant Cristina Arteta '98, a
marketing major. "We celebrate our
differences, but we have a lot in
common which we must celebrate,
too."
Arteta, who came to Lehigh in
January 1995 from Quito, Ecuador,
said the Global Village is "very
intensive" and "extremely interesting."
"Lehigh, for me, is a wonderful
place," she said. "It's wonderful for
me to be here and have these
opportunities.
So far, Arteta said her favorite
part of the Global Village program
was the opening ceremony, which
included a parade of nations.
"We didn't know each other, but
we were sharing with each other—
we were friends already," she said.
The Global Village is being held
from June 23 through August 14. In
addition to students from other
nations, participants also include
American students from Lehigh,
Yale, Colgate, George Washington,
Skidmore, Georgia State, Boston
College and Duke.
"This is an opportunity of a
lifetime," said Global Villager
Thomas Roman '98, a mechanical
engineering major.
Roger Nagel, executive director
of the institute, said the eight-week
experience does not include lectures,
tests or papers.
"We are offering unique leadership and skill-development exercises
that are tailored to each individual
and include interaction not only with
other students but also with more
than 80 executives and scholars who
will spend from one to three days at
the Village," he said.
There are also night and weekend
social events in which students from
other countries discuss their cultures, play CDs of their music and
dress in their traditional clothing.
