Focus #2: Graduate Culture • promote creative professional development opportunities for faculty/student research across all graduate programs, • extend learning opportunities at a possible Global Leadership Conference, • create a graduate publication, suggested name “ARETE” which means “virtue” in Greek. Focus #3: Global Outreach • partner with other colleges and universities around the globe to share courses, speakers, resources, and students, • develop a Standard for global leadership development programs • explore the creation of an accrediting body, Global Leadership Accreditation (GLA), that ensures quality assurance through an external peer review process based on the Standard, • apply for a new accreditation-granting body through Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) The Global Leadership Institute graciously provides the $2,500 per student professional development funding for all doctoral Ph.D. in Global Leadership students (upon the application and approval process).
