The Global Management Certificate enabled me to receive recognition in an area about which I already feel very passionate. I am so glad that the Marriott school offers such incredible opportunities to learn more about the international business world. In our day, such knowledge regarding our world is vital to the success of any individual in any field. I would feel significantly less satisfied with my education without the opportunities available through the Global Management Center.

MSU-CIBER and the Leverhulme Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy (GEP) are co-sponsoring a conference on "International Trade: Firms and Workers," to be held at the University of Nottingham June 24 –25, 2010.

Eighteen months hence, projects that emerged from that initial meeting are beginning to take shape and will be presented in Nottingham. Colleagues from Michigan State and Nottingham will be joined by researchers from the University of Oregon, University of California at San Diego, Columbia University, University of London, University of Copenhagen, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Koc University.
