Business & Culture
A Virtual Practicum
The Business & Culture virtual exchange program has now concluded. The program reached 496 students, including 154 from Michigan and 342 from the MENA region. The program ran five times from 2020–2023. The program was supported by a grant from the Stevens Initiative.
Solve Problems, Build Skills—
Across Cultures
Business & Culture was a virtual exchange program on international business cultures that connected students from Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, and the USA. Participants problem-solved and collaborated in a global team environment.
The program was open to undergraduates at the University of Michigan, the American University in Cairo, the American University of Beirut, and students from various universities in Libya.
The program equipped young people in the U.S. and Middle East North Africa (MENA) regions with the skills they needed to communicate, problem-solve, and collaborate in a global team environment—essential 21st century skills in an interconnected world. Learn more about the program here.
The program was organized by the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan. For more information, contact wdi-virtual@umich.edu.
