Our purpose ...
The overarching purpose is to guide students towards developing a global mindset and preparing them with global leadership skills as these will be the path towards future success. The Global Business Learning Community (GBLC) program has an obligation to ensure students are successful during their academic career while building job skills and networks which position them for success as graduates.
GBLC answers the call from academics and popular press alike for providing students with an opportunity to live with other globally minded business students and explore international business.

GBLC will strive to provide ethical and informed business preparation and enhance student’s cultural intelligence through substantive participation within an engaged cohort community. According to Enterprise Florida Inc. (2020), the state ranks 8th in the U.S. with exports totaling more than $57 billion to more than 200 countries around the world (https://www.enterpriseflorida.com/for-international-companies/trade-fdi-research-reports/).
