About the Program

The Rockefeller Global Leadership Program (RGLP) engages a diverse group of Dartmouth students who seek to develop their intercultural leadership competencies, which have become increasingly crucial in the corporate, public, and non-profit sectors. 

Each Monday throughout the term, a cohort of 20-25 students will have in-depth discussions about topics such as cultural identity, cross-cultural communication, culture shock, diversity, self-awareness, and leadership. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of leadership in a global context through a multitude of small-group and individual activities, including scenario act-outs, case studies, and group presentations. Theory meets practice with a culminating weekend field excursion to Montreal, Boston, or New York City.

By the end of the program, students are better equipped to make positive impact during culturally diverse experiences such as foreign study programs, field research projects, volunteering, internships, and post-graduation careers.
