Are you graduating this May and interested in developing your leadership skills in an international setting this summer? Our partners at the University of Antwerp are hosting a Blended Intensive Program in leadership that includes an online component beginning in mid-May, followed by a week-long in-person component in Antwerp, Belgium the first week of July.

Note that this is NOT part of our Semester in Antwerp program, and it is not a JMU study abroad experience. JMU is the only US school that is being invited this year. Several universities across Europe will be participating, so you will be in a truly international cohort. You MUST be a graduating senior to apply. For more information, please contact Assoc. Dean Molly Brown at [email protected] or Henrich Brunke at the University of Antwerp at [email protected]. For more details, CLICK HERE.
