GDI Client Company – Spain, Chief Executive Officer, Fall 2023 (Over-the-counter Medications)
I am writing to highly recommend the Global Development (GDI) Program – having had the pleasure of working closely with you over the past few months at Mucosa Innovations.
The (Student) Team has constantly demonstrated a strong commitment to professional development and a passion for addressing global challenges.
One of their most notable strengths is to identify key points, think critically, and analyze complex issues. The Team has successfully applied this skill in our project.
The Team has a global perspective and appreciation for the connectedness of global issues which will undoubtedly contribute to the diversity and richness of the GDI program.
Overall, I have full confidence that the team will not only excel in the GDI program but also make valuable contributions to the broader global community. They are dedicated and motivated individuals with a genuine passion for business and a demonstrated commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or clarification. I wholeheartedly recommend the GDI program, and I am confident that it will emerge as a valuable asset to your institution.
The GDI program provides students an opportunity to learn about real business through their understanding of the client companies. It also gives students an opportunity to develop analytical, team work and communication skills - all critical for the business world.
Serving as a mentor in the Global Development Initiative program at the Jindal School of Management, UT Dallas, has been a fun and rewarding experience for me. I have worked with student teams for the past five or six semesters, assisting client companies in Mexico, Sweden and South Korea.
The GDI program is a very impactful experience for the students because it is a research project, not a hypothetical case study. The students must understand the company's services/products, analyze the SWOT, and evaluate possible market strategies.

I had the pleasure of being a project leader alongside my team members, coach, and mentor. We gained meaningful international business experience in a domestic learning environment. Various skills such as time management, business meeting conduction, and industrial research were utilized. It is one thing to take classes and learn about global business, it is another thing to be engaged in consultation with an international company.

Thank you, Mr. Howorth! And I also want to say thank you for all the help and opportunity you provided me during the Global Development Initiative in 2022. That experience has been priceless during my job interviews as it gave me first-hand involvement working on data procurement and consultation. It was always a talking point and helped me get my current job at Murphy Oil Corporation, so I truly appreciate what you and Professor Zydorek did for us during that course! Thank You!
