Project: GLOBALIZATION
No community can afford to isolate itself from the world outside.
As the world globalizes, business and industry must learn to become more
globally competitive.
If we wish to develop leaders of tomorrow, we need to provide them with a more global perspective.

Response: JUNIOR TERM ABROAD PROGRAM • Our response to the need
to develop leaders who are global in perspective.
• An important effort at values formation: – Independence – Discipline – Self-confidence – Greater maturity – Cross cultural sensitivity – A deeper sense of self and
nation

The Next Issue: Inbound Exchange
• We cannot sustain an �exchange� program without generating inbound exchange
• We also need to provide a �global perspective� to the 70% of our students who cannot participate in Junior Term Abroad
• Major issues: • not a preferred destination for many
foreign students • our calendar doesn�t match theirs
![Page 9: The Junior Term Abroad Program · The opportunity to study abroad for one semester for as low as US$2,000 and an average of only US$5,000 JTA scholarship opportunities (our commitment:](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042406/5f1fff0101d63e08dc79830c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Next Issue: Inbound Exchange
• Our solution: • Our students are our best recruiters • Adjust to the international calendar,
offer classes that start in January • Ateneo students enroll in these
classes together with all their other classes, but do not start meeting until January
• Classes meet more frequently to make up for lost time
• Focus on social entrepreneurship
