Why does the Hesselbein Global Academy need your support?
The Hesselbein Global Academy draws together 50 of the top student leaders from around the world for an annual four-day student leadership summit at the University of Pittsburgh. Participants receive training and mentorship from professionals who are experts in the fields of business, government, education, and not-for-profit. The students and mentors explore critical topics in leadership and undertake community engagement projects in collaboration with Pittsburgh-area organizations.
Since 2009, the Academy has hosted participants from 72 countries with the purpose of preparing students to work in a global setting and increasing their personal leadership skills. You can hear more about the impact of the Summit from the participants themselves by viewing our Summit highlight video. For more information about the Summit, please visit: www.hesselbein.pitt.edu.
