Vision: To globally expand our business horizons


The MBADiversity Organization (abbreviated MBADiversity) is the pre-MBA global preparation and fellowship program for positive change agents.  The MBADiversity Global Immersion Module (GIM) is an international program that fosters global awareness.  MBADiversity warmly announces the 2012 GIM Program Application. For prospective MBA students, GIM will fortify your pre-graduate and professional experience. For current and alumni MBAs, GIM will strengthen your leadership, service and global awareness acumen. 

GLOBAL IMMERSION MODULE (GIM) - Expand your global horizons.
GIM 2012 will take place June 21- June 30, 2012.

Those selected to participate in GIM will travel to another country for 10 days and participate in an international internship opportunity, community service and cross-cultural fellowship.  The program allows pre-MBA, current MBA, and alumni MBA students to develop confidence in using their degrees to positively impact education, the marketplace and the global community at large.  GIM also includes a basic foreign language immersion course and cultural activities. Through the integration of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) methods, our leadership team evolves the program each year to ensure we are functioning at optimal levels of innovation and quality that the new global business landscape demands.

 SHANGHAI – A Citadel of China. 
The GIM Design Team selected Shanghai, China for the 2012 GIM experience. With a population nearing 19 million, Shanghai is the center of popular culture, the largest city in the People's Republic of China and one of the largest cities in the world. This citadel of China's modern economy serves as one of China's most important financial, cultural, commercial and communications centers and generates 12.5% of China's total revenue.


FORTIFY YOUR GLOBAL EXPERIENCE 
GIM participants will gain immense experience through the internship in Shanghai.  Some say that the city is developing at mind-bending speed and is ready to show its potential to the world. GIM participants will have the opportunity to intern in one of the following functional areas:

IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY

Each GIM participant will complete a community service project as it will be another way for participants to impact the people of Shanghai and China.
