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.
GDI Student – Israeli Company, Class of Spring 2023 (All Terrain Vehicles)
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!

I am extremely pleased that I was able to participate in the Global Development Initiative (GDI) internship program. For me, the experience was wonderful and enlightening in many ways. Having to meet mentors and interns who have their distinct individuality, but share a similar cooperative motivation was a first for me. There was never a lack of moments in our collaborations, whether we were serious about accomplishing our goals or laughing about random topics that I would have never expected to appear.
GDI Student – Japanese Company, Class of Spring 2022 (Building Hardware Manufacturer)
The Global Development Initiative was an experience I’ll never forget. My team and I had the pleasure of working with a Japanese manufacturer. We learned how to navigate meetings that take place in different time zones and had a successful project despite the presence of a language barrier. Through this internship, I gained hands-on experience conducting extensive marketing research. My team and I learned how to work together despite our busy schedules and put together a final product we are very proud of.
