The Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Program (GSGLP) seeks to train and develop tomorrow's educators, policy makers, business leaders, research scientists, social entrepreneurs, and other professionals, and to create an international network through which they can share ideas, work collaboratively, and begin to change the world. The competition identifies and rewards the academic excellence and leadership potential of 100 of the most accomplished second-year students from all disciplines from over 70 top universities and colleges worldwide.
In the United States, the GSGLP will select 16 Global Leaders from the participating universities. Global Leaders will be invited to attend an award ceremony in New York City in the spring to receive their $3000 award. In conjunction with the award ceremony, a selection panel will interview the Global Leaders and select eight to receive an all-expense-paid trip to represent the group at the Global Leadership Institute in New York City in July 2007.
The Goldman Sachs Global Leaders selected to attend the Global Leadership Institute will participate in leadership training and seminars on timely international issues. They will consult with renowned leaders in the public, civic, and private sectors and build ties based on shared experiences and common goals. Activities for participants will include various cultural events in New York City. Global Leaders attending the Global Leadership Institute will be responsible for communicating the essence of the experience to the rest of the group.
