The PNP Program Is Going to Brazil!

Twenty GSM students will be celebrating the end of exams with a trip to Brazil on the annual Social Enterprise Field Seminar. Led by, PNP Program Director, Kristen McCormack, the group plans to center its twelve-day experience around three major themes:


· Agrobusiness in the northern city of Fortaleza;

· Social and cultural issues in Salvador; and

· Multi-national/large business issues in Rio de Janeiro.


This year, seven people full-time students, nine PEMBAs, and three international management concentrators have signed up. The students have a wide range of interests including healthcare, microfinance, corporate social responsibility, sustainable development, and renewable energy. They will be visiting with local NGOs, politicians, and multi-national corporations; and potentially participate in small-scale consulting projects during their visit.

Please check back for additional updates on the trip!
