STEP 1

Find and research one of the following: international project, research, competition, community service, service learning, or travel study experience, which leads to a demonstration of competency and leadership in the field of global studies.

• • Identify what you have found as a project, research, competition, community service, service learning, or travel study. Keep in mind that projects are usually short term with an end date and service learning is usually academically based (offered through a class).
  • Give a detailed description of the project, research, etc., stating what it is, the purpose, who benefits, when and where the activity will take place, and how it is related to global studies.
  • Reveal if this is an initiative through a company, organization, or other entity (and specify the specific name), or something you have created on your own.
  • Describe your role in this activity as if you were actually going to participate in it.
  • What do you feel your take away would be if you were to participate in this activity?

STEP 2

Find and research three (details specified below) conferences, lectures, or workshops related to other cultures or global issues that will take place in this semester and that you would be interested in and able to attend. This means, you will need to research events that are occurring in the near future.

• • Find one that is located in Indiana, one that is located outside of Indiana in the U.S., and one that is located in another country.
  • List the details of each conference, lecture, or workshop as follows below. Please keep the information for each individual event together for ease of grading.
    • Title of event
    • Website
    • Location
    • Date(s)
    • Organizers (name of company or organization responsible for the event)
    • Cost as a student (if any)
    • Purpose of event
    • Expected outcomes of event (you may have to call or email the organizers to get this information)
  • In a brief summary (1-2 paragraphs) explain how each event is related to global studies and why you interested in attending.

STEP 3

Find and research three professional membership groups or membership community organizations related to global issues that you would be interested in joining as a member – not as a volunteer. Try to find something that has a local chapter or one that you can easily be involved in online. Note that a membership group would have regular meetings, may have a membership fee, and typically is run by the members. This is different than an organization like the Red Cross which is an actual company who allows volunteers to help with different initiatives. Make sure your organization has memberships which would be indicated on their website.

• • Provide the following information for each of the three individual groups or organizations. Please keep the information for each individual group together for ease of grading.
    • Organization Name
    • Founders
    • Mission/Purpose
    • Location (address)
    • Website
    • List of initiatives
    • Meeting dates & times
    • Membership fees
  • In a brief summary (1-2 paragraphs per organization) summarize each organization, explain how related to global studies, and why you would want to join. Tell me what your role would be and what you would have to offer to this organization.

STEP 4

Find and research three companies that regularly conduct international business and are located in Indiana.

• • Provide the following information for each of the three companies. Please keep the information for each individual company together for ease of grading.
    • Name, address, phone, website of company
    • Industry and type of business conducted (i.e. For Eli Lilly it would be the health care industry and they create pharmaceutical drugs. Also, you cannot use Eli Lilly.)
    • A brief history of the company (1 paragraph) including when the company started, when it went global (or was it born global?), what major countries they do business with, and how many locations worldwide they have.
