Location: Faculty Club
Guest Speakers:

  • Ms. Vickie “Yiqi” Chen, Founder of Global Leadership Initiative
  • Mr. Tim Sword, President of Greater Columbus Sister Cities International
  • Mr. Ryan Radebaugh, Program Coordinator for Global Engagement, Office of International Affairs
  • Ms. Renée Bishai, Program Coordinator for Global Engagement, Office of International Affairs

This past week, we were able to host our first monthly dinner of the semester. It was a very relaxed night, where each of our members had the opportunity to catch up with each other and share with the guest speakers. The night followed with great food hosted by the Faculty Club.

A very exciting topic for GLI this semester is our 5 groups planning 5 Sister City events. The GLI Cohort members have been working very diligently in planning these events to celebrate Columbus’ sister city relationships with Curitiba, Ahmedabad, Accra, Herzliya, and Seville. These events will highlight the unique cultures of each city and what they represent. Tonight, each group had the opportunity to speak in front of our cohort and guests, and talk about their progress in planning each individual event. Be on the lookout for more information regarding these events over the next few weeks!

Below are photos highlighting our monthly dinner:
