Are you interested in the world of global business?

Applications are now being accepted for students to participate as delegates to the 15th World Business Dialogue in Cologne, Germany, March 11-16, 2012. (Spring break is the week of March 19.)
Priority Deadline is November 15, with the final deadline December 15. To apply please visit www.world-business-dialogue.com.

Delegates to the World Business Dialogue attend lectures and panel discussions, workshops and other special cultural programs during a 5-day intensive interactive experience with other business students from over 60 countries. All expenses are paid upon arrival, including lodging and meals. Attendees will pay their own airfare, with opportunity to apply for scholarships to cover the cost of airfare.

“The coolest part of the experience was meeting and interacting with students and experts from all over the world…sharing our understanding about current business issues, brainstorming solutions to pressing world issues. Fellow students I met at the Dialogue have become close friends, as we have remained in communication and see each other at other international events. I expect them to be colleagues as I grow my career in international business I have just learned that my new managing director was himself a delegate, giving us a shared interest which will be very beneficial in my career. I attended last year, and had such a great time that I will be returning this year as a student ambassador for the program. I strongly recommend anyone with interests in global business to consider attending .
