Become a global citizen with the Global Leadership Program
30 June 2021
The Global Leadership Program (GLP) helps you become a global citizen but you don’t need to leave Australia, or your home to do so!
Open to all Macquarie students, the GLP is a co-curricular program that can be undertaken alongside any course at Macquarie.
With a focus on cross-cultural understanding, leadership, international issues, innovation, and entrepreneurship the GLP provides you with the knowledge, skills and networks you’ll need to advance in your professional and personal lives.
Macquarie student and recent graduate of the program, Joshua Santos, shares the process of getting involved locally and the impact it’s had on his journey!
“At the start of my degree, I often felt lost as to where my studies would take me. Then I discovered the GLP, which has a broad range of educational programs, virtual initiatives, and local community engagements on offer. From there, the opportunity to challenge my assumptions in the Australian context alongside participating in local causes was value-adding to my degree and helped me to build my cross-cultural leadership capabilities, finding clarity in my career aspirations of becoming a digital marketer. I was able to build genuine connections with peers from diverse backgrounds and find a sense of community throughout my studies.”
