Global Engagement and Leadership Experience (GELE)

Global Engagement

The Global Engagement and Leadership Experience is a weekend, off-campus global leadership opportunity. At GELE, we explore the ability to interact across differences at the individual and group level. Our trained facilitators guide you through fun and reflective activities to develop your cultural intelligence - your understanding of culture and ability to strategize, work, and lead in intercultural settings - a crucial skill for any academic major or future career. 

Whether you’re just starting at Penn State or narrowing down program options, the Education Abroad Fair is your next step! Explore global opportunities and enter to win one of three $1000 study abroad scholarships.
