For Wilson College of Textiles student Madi Jenkins, going abroad wasn\u2019t just a chance to sightsee, it was the opportunity to spend a semester learning global leadership skills with other talented NC State students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
See Jenkins, a rising senior studying fashion and textile management (FTM)<\/a> with a concentration in fashion development and product management, was one of 16 students in this semester’s Global Leadership and Team Decision-Making Minor<\/a> cohort. The minor is a collaboration between the Shelton Leadership Center<\/a> and the NC State European Center in Prague<\/a>, which aims to give students a competitive edge in the global workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was a nine week program, and we went to three different countries,\u201d Jenkins explains. \u201cWe went to the Czech Republic and studied in Prague, Germany and studied in Reutlingen and Munich, and in Austria we went to Innsbruck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In all these places the students studied business and leadership at local universities, attending classes with the university’s students and immersing themselves in the culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
