“You get to study while still practicing basic principles of leadership and getting to work with groups of people that have vastly different views on the world and vastly different views on how something should be achieved, even though we all may agree on the same outcome. It’s a chance to lead a diverse team and get to practice those things and it’s really a very fun setting.” - Brendan Klein

Current master's and doctoral students, there is still time to apply to study abroad in Brussel, Belgium from March 4 - 14, 2027. The application deadline is November 1, so make sure to secure your spot now. Learn more about the course and start your application through the link in our comments.
