Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures

Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.

This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.

Travel

Journey through the foothills of Northern Italy, taking in small, medieval towns and elegant, modern cities while learning firsthand about Italian global business strategies, with a focus on technology, apparel, and wine production. Tour must-see heritage landmarks, examining them with an entrepreneur’s—rather than a tourist’s—eye.

Rethink

Social Good as Smart Business

What business models best address globalization challenges? What is the history of corporate social responsibility in Italy? How can social entrepreneurship be leveraged to address global challenges and opportunities?

Explore

Synthesize Academic and Experiential Learning

Study Italy’s long engagement with economic globalization, through readings, site visits, and meetings with businesspeople. Examine historic and recent examples of socially responsible businesses, and understand how globalization shapes these enterprises. Research and present key takeaways in a public forum at Drew.

Launch-Endorsed Immersive Experience

While exposure to diverse global economic challenges is a career builder for students of any major, the content of this program is especially instructive to those interested in social entrepreneurship and the challenges of balancing ethics and profits globally.
