The Franke Global Leadership Initiative (GLI) at the University of Montana creates an opportunity for students to ask some of the most pressing questions of the 21st century while gaining the skills necessary to find the answers.
UM’s Franke Global Leadership Initiative is a four-year, 12-credit certificate program that provides undergraduate students unique experiences through a community of learners. GLI enriches academic learning by combining practical experiences with classroom education. The program gives students access to world-class leaders and provides opportunities to explore society’s questions either locally or around the world. It’s about the connection of community and creativity as students from different disciplines come together and harness their diversity to tackle real-world problems with fresh ideas.
