ANNOUNCEMENTS:
This year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgetown University’s Latin America Leadership Program will be offering its traditional GCL program as a GCL Special Edition to allow our GCL participants an opportunity to respond to their own professional and personal situations during this crisis from their home countries.
The GCL 2021 Special Edition will offer the same level of academics, experiential learning, and networking opportunities as our traditional GCL program. Our GCL faculty and program staff are committed to ensuring that the GCL 2021 Special Edition’s program activities will continue to be interactive and engaging for all participants, regardless of the modality in which they are taught.
This Special Edition will be offered as a live virtual, part-time program from 9:00 am to 1:15 pm (Washington DC time), Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, for eight weeks, from February 1, 2021, through March 25, 2021. The program will present the traditional GCL curriculum through live virtual sessions with Georgetown University faculty and visiting lecturers, and various virtual visits to institutions in the Washington DC area featuring guest speakers from multilateral organizations, government institutions, think tanks, and public advisory companies to analyze some of the most pressing challenges facing the region, including the consequences of this COVID-19 pandemic. The live sessions and virtual visits will allow faculty to tailor-make the content of their courses to fit the GCL participants’ project proposals and analyze some of the current challenges of this pandemic. In addition, the GCL 2021 program will include teambuilding opportunities, peer-to-peer coaching sessions to allow participants a space to share ideas, experiences, and best practices, as well as mentoring opportunities with experts in the field. The program will be taught in English.
