The Global Leadership Fellows Program (GLFP) at Waseda University provides an opportunity for a Chicago undergraduate to study for an academic year (September to July) at a major Japanese university. This is an academically demanding program (in effect, an “honors” program), created for a small group of carefully selected students from various American universities (one from each university). Its chief mission is to foster global awareness and leadership skills among the participants, and it provides a series of educational experiences (courses, lectures, excursions, internships) in service to this goal.
