Message from the President...  

The Global Business Association is the one of the most important clubs at Foster and has the potential to impact every single student in the program, regardless of background or academic interest. At some point, every one of us will be working in the global marketplace, even if working domestically, and it is crucial that students are exposed to the tremendous value and opportunity that lies within the world of Global Business. As our student body is represented by nearly 20 percent international students, it is vital that their experiences and backgrounds are represented and highlighted so that we can all learn from them in addition to our professors. 

The Global Business Association is a student run organization that falls under MBA Association. Our club focuses on providing its members with opportunities to explore international business issues, cross-cultural differences, and develop cross-border professional relationships. Here’s a snippet of activities that we have planned for the upcoming year:

Professional Events: International Business Speakers Discussions, Business Professionals Company Visits, Networking nights, Connection with Seattle’s International Organization (such as YPIN, JAS etc), Exchange Student Panel Discussions, etc.

Socializing Events: Cultural Networking Socials (TG’s), Flavors of the World, International Movie Nights, etc

We really hope to enhance your Foster MBA experience through our cultural-diversity focused activities. If you have any questions about the club, its activities or have an activity idea, feel free to get in touch with me or any of the club officers.

Finally, if you would like to join this club, refer to the Membership Information page.

Sincerely,

Jesse Karp
