Experiential Learning Opportunities

Interested in Export Professional Development?

Global Business Programs has created these programs in partnership with the Connecticut District Export Council to promote knowledge about exporting to students who may wish to have this additional skill for their résumés and potential internships. In a global economy, knowledge of exporting logistics and compliance is crucial for businesses of all sizes, as 95% of all consumers live outside the U.S. Completing one or more of these tracks will help prepare students to assist an SME (Small to Medium size Enterprise) to begin or expand their exporting capabilities.

To participate, please email global.business@uconn.edu.

Upcoming Case Competitions

Students will be challenged with the fundamental reminder of the definition of logistics: coordinated separate activities which combine to one organized movement of goods, services, and people. This challenge incorporates this essential philosophy of logistics into the new and innovative study of social logistics, which aims to introduce a social (human) factor in the systems and to apply logistics principles and methods in solving problems within society.

Inclusive in this experience will be student-only networking sessions and open office hours for the GBSN team and experts to assist students in solution development.

Application Deadline: October 20th
