Overview
The Study of the United States Institutes for Global Student Leaders are intensive five week academic programs whose purpose is to provide undergraduate leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States’ culture and society generally and within a specific field. The institutes also aim to enhance the students’ leadership skills, plan community service activities, provide opportunities to interact with Americans, and incorporate an educational study tour.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on Global Environmental Issues explores the role that environmental policy has played in the economic and political development of the United States. The Institute uses experiential learning techniques to expose participants to current themes in the field, including: natural resource management, sustainable development/sustainable agricultural practices, food security, ecotourism, energy generation (new and traditional forms), and water management and treatment. The issues are explored from numerous angles: local grassroots activism and civic initiatives, market-oriented approaches, and federal government policies and regulation. The Institute looks at the relationship between environmental security and national security and explores environmental issues in the context of a globalized society, drawing comparisons between the United States and the participants’ home countries.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on New Media examines major topics in journalism, including the concept of a free press, First Amendment rights, the media’s relationship to the public interest, and media business models. The Institute covers all elements of journalism: researching, writing, editing, and reporting with particular emphasis on new forms of media. The program underscores the impact of new technologies on journalism, and gives participants new skills such as working with on-line photos and videos; ‘twittering;’ publishing blogs; utilizing social networking and other internet sites; and other new technologies.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on Religious Pluralism in the United States explores U.S. history, society, and institutions within the context of religious pluralism and interfaith dialogue. Topics include, but are not limited to: early religious traditions in the U.S.; the separation of church and state; immigration and the introduction of new religions in the U.S.; protection and representation of minority groups and religions; and interfaith dialogue and cooperation in a diverse and rapidly changing world. Participants meet with U.S. community leaders of different faiths that advocate for collaboration and tolerance among religious groups. Participants also examine the leadership role that religious officials play in their own societies and develop ideas for how they can work with leaders, of similar or different faiths, to bring about positive social change.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on Social Entrepreneurship provides participants with an overview of how to employ business techniques and entrepreneurial skills to address social issues. The Institute reviews the development, history, challenges, and successes of social enterprises and community leaders, in the United States and globally. Topics may include, but are not limited to: microfinance; organizational development and management; grant writing; innovation; emerging markets and risk analysis; strategic business planning; corporate social responsibility; and, women and minorities in entrepreneurship.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on Women’s Leadership examines the history and participation of women in public life in the United States. The Institute focuses on two major areas: (1) Developing participants’ leadership skills in areas such as critical thinking, communication, decision-making and managerial abilities; and, (2) Placing these abilities in the context of the history and participation of women in U.S. politics, economics, culture, and society. The Institute examines the historical domestic progress towards women’s equality in the United States, the current domestic successes and challenges to women in a variety of fields, and current challenges in global women’s issues.
