今年夏天，商业与公共管理学院（SBPA）在英国诺丁汉和伦敦开设了第一个出国留学课程。 在美国国家科学基金会的资助下，BGMT 395留学课程于2022年6月30日至8月13日开设，作为物流与国际贸易（LIT）分析专业的选修课。 它可以被视为跨所有SBPA学科和浓度的商业专业的商业管理选修。 学生可以在亚洲博彩网站的所有学院和学院选择这门课程。 工程和非商业专业的学生可以有效地利用这门课程来满足文学分析专业的要求。 Six students—Arlene Marshall, Lakesia Brighthaupt, Camaren Rogers, Meri Zakaryan, Matthew Miller and Daniel Orebiyi—participated in the course taught by Dr. Anshu Arora, associate professor of marketing and director of the LIT Center.
“When the LIT center team at SBPA and SEAS applied for the National Science Foundation
grant in 2019, we envisaged global orientation as a major part of the LIT program, w在这里 亚洲博彩网站 students across all schools and colleges could gain international exposure,” she said. “We are thankful to NSF for believing in our students and us.”
阿罗拉博士说，这项资助为学生和教师打开了国际化的大门。“学生 received a lifetime opportunity to meet and understand different cultures, and 亚洲博彩网站
faculty explored international research and teaching collaboration opportunities,” she said.
“Three 亚洲博彩网站 students who traveled for this trip to the UK had never traveled abroad, and one student was taking the airplane ride for the first time. In short, the trip and the knowledge that our students gained through Nottingham Trent University’s global business design and innovation curriculum changed our students’ perspectives and transformed them into ‘global’ citizens.”
该课程由供应链管理副教授Amit Arora博士和会计及金融学系教授兼系主任Tih Koon Tan博士鼎力支持。 These
professors are all actively involved in the study abroad program to conduct research abroad with global academic collaborators and ensure that the 亚洲博彩网站 students gain international
exposure/immersion.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of the UK’s largest and most popular research universities. NTU ranks among the top five UK research universities, with about 40,000
students. NTU has received the Queens Anniversary Prize—the highest national honor for a UK university. NTU runs a Global Summer School with special programs on design and innovation in business and international fashion branding, w在这里 亚洲博彩网站 students enhance their creativity by exploring techniques from design professions—product, service, user experience and more —
to generate new and innovative ideas and solutions.
“This study abroad trip has been one for the books,” said Daniel Orebiyi, a junior electrical engineering student. “I want to thank NSF for sponsoring us. 没有它们，我就无法旅行，无法接触世界各地的人和文化。 Working alongside people from India, France, Canada and others helped me expand my knowledge and future horizons.”
市场营销专业大三学生Lakesia Brighthaupt表示同意。
“It was just an amazing experience. If you’ve never been abroad, you need to take the trip,” she said. “To learn so many different languages and to be able to relate or understand through different language barriers is awesome. I’ve never been out of the United States before this trip and now want to visit more places abroad and meet many other people.”
Meri Zakaryan, an accounting and finance major, LIT student, and recent graduate, said it was a“once in a lifetime opportunity.”
“The majestic Nottingham with its extraordinary architecture was another part of the trip that was very inspirational,” she said. “I am among many students whose life has changed positively due to the trip. 我很享受在英国与人见面的时光？？ 大部分时间都在与来自其他国家和文化的学生一起工作和合作。 Professional skills, such as critical thinking, planning, strategizing and product design, have been acquired because of taking the course.”
Arlene Fairley Marshall, a senior marketing major and LIT student, said she had never considered the design and innovation process behind items she would likely market or trade one
day.
“I gained incredible knowledge into the design process during my UK trip,” she said. “Having this insight will benefit me in my career. During the trip, I interacted with 14 different
nationalities.”
Camaren Rogers是一名高级管理专业的学生，同时也是一名文学学院的学生。她说，通过与来自其他文化背景的人互动，并与他们建立起牢固、持久的关系，她变得对文化敏感起来。
“Opening my mind to so many different cultures and experiences has been so welcoming and provided me with a positive impact on a level I’ve never experienced before,” she said. “These experiences are life-changing and are more rewarding than you could ever experience from just staying at home. What I experienced while studying abroad was so much more than I expected.”
阿罗拉博士同意她的学生的观点，并对这次机会表示感激。
“The study abroad experiences for our students changed their lives for the better,” she said. “Not only do they start appreciating people and cultures from all over the world and become truly global, but they also start appreciating their own culture.”
